Quantum link models provide an alternative non-perturbative formulation of Abelian and non-Abelian lattice gauge theories. They are ideally suited for quantum simulation, for example, using ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. This holds…

Exponential resummation of the QCD finite-density Taylor series has been recently introduced as an alternative way of resumming the finite-density lattice QCD Taylor series. Unfortunately the usual exponential resummation formula suffers…
We propose the formulation of lattice QCD wherein all elements of the theory (gauge action, fermionic action, theta-term, and all operators) are constructed from a single object, namely the lattice Dirac operator D with exact chiral…
The systematic approach to study bound states in quantum chromodynamics is presented. The method utilizes nonperturbative flow equations in the confining background, that makes possible to perform perturbative renormalization and to bring…

Pure gauge lattice QCD at arbitrary D is considered. Exact integration over link variables in an arbitrary D-volume leads naturally to an appearance of a set of surfaces filling the volume and gives an exact expression for functional of…
We will review our understanding of non-abelian gauge theories in finite physical volumes. It allows one in a reliable way to trace some of the non-perturbative dynamics. The role of gauge fixing ambiguities related to large field…
The functional integral for QCD is reformulated by introducing explicitly an integration over the fluctuations of composite quark-antiquark bound states. Chiral symmetry breaking by the color singlet scalar field induces masses for the…

We present a lattice QCD calculation of the nucleon axial charge, gA, using a variational approach. After a brief outline of how the variational method is applied to the calculation of form factors, we present results for gA using this…
I propose to reformulate the gauge field theory as the perturbative deformation of a novel topological quantum field theory. It is shown that this reformulation leads to quark confinement in QCD$_4$. Similarly, the fractional charge…
We elaborate on the brane configuration that gives rise to a QCD-like gauge theory that confines at low energies and becomes scale invariant at the highest energies. In the limit where the rank of the gauge group is large, a gravitational…
QCD can be formulated using any gauge group. One particular interesting choice is to replace SU(3) by the exceptional group G2. Conceptually, this group is the simplest group with a trivial center. It thus permits to study the conjectured…
Some past and ongoing explorations of the spectrum of QCD using Monte Carlo simulations on a space-time lattice are described. Glueball masses in the pure-gauge theory are reviewed, and the energies of gluonic excitations in the presence of…
