In the last few years, lattice QCD has made a dramatic progress in understanding the physics of hadrons containing heavy quarks, from the first principle. This review summarises the major achievements.
A pedagogical introduction to the heavy quark theory is given. It is explained that various expansions in the inverse heavy quark mass $1/m_Q$ present a version of the Wilson operator product expansion in QCD. A systematic approach is…
In this talk, I address some open problems in hadron physics and stress their importance for a better understanding of QCD in the confinement regime.
This talk summarizes topical theoretical work for tests of the electroweak theory and reviews the status of the electroweak Standard Model in view of the recent precision data reported at the 1997 summer conferences.
I explain the motivation for investigating the high energy limit of QCD and give a brief presentation of recent progress in the understanding of unitarity corrections in this kinematic regime. Special emphasis is given to the conformal…
We review the physics of the ultraviolet renormalon. This mini-review is intended to be a sequel to the review by the same authors at the "QCD '96" conference last year (hep-ph/9610492).
The quantum electrodynamics formalism to treat the interelectronic-interaction correction of first order in $1/Z$ to the two-electron part of the nuclear recoil effect on binding energies in atoms and ions is developed. The nonperturbative…

I discuss finite-temperature gauge theories as a framework to describe the quark-gluon plasma in the regime of high temperature where the gauge coupling is small, $g << 1$. I review recent progress in the understanding of the long-range…
