We study QCD-like four dimensional theories in the theoretically controlled framework of deformation theory and/or twisted partition function on S*1 x R*3. By using duality, we show that a class of one-flavor theories exhibit new physical…
We have previously found analytically a very unusual and unexpected form of confinement in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. This confinement occurs in the deconfined phase of the theory. The free energy of a single static test quark diverges, even…

I review the most important single- and double-spin asymmetries that allow for the extraction of transversity and other chiral-odd and/or T-odd parton densities, necessary to explore the partonic content and the spin structure of the…

Approximate relations among transverse momentum dependent quark distribution functions are established in the framework of the QCD parton model. The validity of such results survives QCD evolution effects, owing to the Politzer theorem on…
The mass spectrum of Delta resonances is compared to predictions based on three quark-model variants, to predictions assuming that chiral symmetry is restored in high-mass baryon resonances, and to predictions derived from AdS/QCD. The…

We present a calculation of the two-loop anomalous dimension for the transversity distribution h_1(x,Q^2), $\gamma^{h(1)}_n$, in the MS scheme of the dimensional regularization. Due to the chiral-odd nature, h_1 does not mix with the gluon…
The so-called decoupling and scaling solutions of functional equations of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory are briefly reviewed. In both types of solutions the positivity violation seen in the gluon propagator is taken as an indication of…
