Nonlocal gluon condensates are vacuum expectations of the product of gluon field strength tensors. Short-distance expansions of two-, three-, and four-gluon condensates are presented up to dimension-8 local operators. We propose a method…
We calculate, within massless QCD, a two-point correlator of nonlocal (composite) vector quark currents with arbitrary-length chains of the simplest fermion loops being inserted into gluon lines. Within the large $n_f$ (or large $\beta_0$)…
Two and three point functions of composite operators are analysed with regard to (logarithmically) divergent contact terms. Using the renormalisation group of dimensional regularisation it is established that the divergences are governed by…

The quark condensate is calculated within the world-line effective-action formalism, by using for the Wilson loop an ansatz provided by the stochastic vacuum model. Starting with the relation between the quark and the gluon condensates in…
Using the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis effective potential for composite operators we compute the QCD vacuum energy as a function of the dynamical quark and gluon propagators, which are related to their respective condensates as predicted by…

We compute the contributions of CP-conserving operators in the dimension-six SMEFT to the two-loop renormalisation constants of quark and gluon fields in the $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$-scheme. Specifically, we consider the top-quark…
We calculate the vacuum expectation value of the dimension-5 "mixed" quark-gluon operator, $O_\sigma = \bar\psi (\lambda^a /2) \sigma_{\mu\nu} \psi F_{\mu\nu}^a$, in the instanton vacuum. Within the $1/N_c$--expansion the QCD operator is…
Charmonium sum rules for pseudoscalar 0^{-+} state eta_c(1S) are analyzed within perturbative QCD and Operator Product Expansion. The perturbative part of the pseudoscalar correlator is considered at alpha_s^2 order and the contribution of…

Utilizing the in-medium Lorentz decomposition of operators generating QCD condensates we derive general constraints among the latter ones by the requirement of a smooth transition from medium to vacuum. In this way we relate the vacuum…
The development of a Modified Perturbation Theory for QCD, introduced in previous works, is continued. The gluon propagator is modified as consequence of a soft gluon pairs condensate in the vacuum. The modified Feynman rules for $\alpha=1$…
