The correlation function of a $V-A$ current with a $V+A$ current is discussed within the framework of QCD in the limit of a large number of colours $N_c$. Applications to the evaluation of chiral condensates of dimension six and higher, as…
We draw an analogy between the chiral extrapolation of lattice QCD calculations from large to small quark masses and the interpolation between the large mass (weak field) and small mass (strong field) limits of the Euler--Heisenberg QED…
The effective quark models are employed to describe the hadronization of QCD in the quark sector. They reveal a different structure depending on how the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (CSB) is implemented. When the generation of light…
The vacuum of Quantum Chromodynamics is a superposition of degenerate states with different topological numbers that are connected by tunneling (the $\theta$-vacuum). The tunneling events are due to topologically non-trivial configurations…
The zero momentum sectors in effective theories of three dimensional QCD coupled to pseudoreal (two colors) and real (adjoint) quarks in a classically parity-invariant manner have alternative descriptions in terms of orthogonal and…
We study light scalar mesons in the AdS/QCD soft-wall model with a background dilaton field. The masses and decay constants are compatible with experiment and QCD determinations if $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ are identified as the lightest…
Gauge theories with compact symmetry groups possess topologically non-trivial configurations of gauge field. This has dramatic implications for the vacuum structure of Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) and for the behavior of QCD plasma, as…
Diquarks may play an important role in hadron spectroscopy, baryon decays and color superconductivity. We investigate the existence of diquark correlations in lattice QCD by considering systematically all the lowest energy diquark channels…
We investigate the quarkonia correlators in QCD with no light quarks within a potential model with different screened potentials. Our results for the temperature dependence of the charmonium and bottomonium correlators are qualitatively…
We analyse the possible existence of non-perturbative contributions in heavy $\bar Q Q$ systems ($\bar Q$ and $Q$ need not have the same flavour) which cannot be expressed in terms of local condensates. Starting from QCD, with well defined…
We report on the results of our calculation of meson correlators in a finite volume. The calculation is carried out in the quenched approximation near the chiral limit (down to Mq = 2.6 MeV) using the overlap fermion. For these small quark…
New properties of the quark correlator are found via equations of motion. As a first result, approximate relations can be established among the "soft" functions; one such relation may help in determining the quark transversity in a nucleon.…
We study the chiral condensates and the eta^prime meson correlators of the massive Schwinger model in non-zero theta vacuum. Our data suggest that the pseudoscalar operator does condense in a fixed topological sector and gives long range…
We describe Scalar-Pseudoscalar partner degeneration at the QCD chiral transition in terms of the dominant low-energy physical states for the light quark sector. First, we obtain within model-independent one-loop Chiral Perturbation Theory…
Vacuum correlator of topological charge densities $\chi(q^2)$ at low $q^2$ in QCD is discussed: its value $\chi(0)$ and first derivative $\chi'(0)$ at $q^2=0$ and the contributions of pseudoscalar quasi-Goldstone bosons to $\chi(q^2)$ at…
We calculate the small-momentum expansion of vector, axial-vector, scalar, and pseudo-scalar heavy-quark current correlators in the large-$\beta_0$ limit of QCD, extending the analysis of Grozin and Sturm beyond the vector current. Our…

Why should we study mesons in 2002? Two approaches to relating quark and gluon dynamics to hadron physics, namely QCD sum rules and effective field theories, are briefly discussed. These are linked by progress in the study of strong QCD,…
