The quenched spectrum of glueballs with positive charge parity is calculated from two-body bound state equations. As input, a self-contained solution for the primitively divergent correlation functions from Dyson-Schwinger equations is…
We take a new look at plaquette-plaquette correlators in 4d compact U(1) lattice gauge theory which are separated in time, both in the confined and the deconfined phases. From the behaviour of these correlators we extract glueball masses in…
Calculations within QCD (lattice and sum rules) find the lightest glueball to be a scalar and with mass in the range of about 1000-1700 MeV. Several phenomenological investigations are discussed which aim at the identification of the scalar…
We present a novel implementation of the Schwinger mechanism in QCD, which fixes uniquely the scale of the effective gluon mass and streamlines considerably the procedure of multiplicative renormalization. The key advantage of this method…
Starting from the $0^{++}$ glueball mass and wave function computed from lattice QCD, we compute the local potential between two constituent gluons. Since the properties of constituent gluons are still a matter of research, we allow for…
A scalar model of the glueball is offered. The model is based on the nonperturbative calculation of 2 and 4-points Green's functions. Approximately they can be expressed via a scalar field. On the basis of the SU(3) Yang-Mills Lagrangian an…
On the basis of a nonperturbative scalar model of gluon condensate the model of glueball is considered. Two scalar fields describe quantum fluctuations of gauge potential components belonging to a small subgroup $SU(2) \subset SU(3)$ and a…
We propose a class of numerical methods for the nonlinear Schr\"odinger (NLS) equation that conserves mass and energy, is of arbitrarily high-order accuracy in space and time, and requires only the solution of a scalar algebraic equation…
In this paper, I review the experimental situation for both glueballs and hybrid mesons. Theoretical expectations are discussed, and a survey of what is known about hybrid mesons and glueballs is undertaken. Good experimental evidence…
We perform a glueball-relevant study on isoscalars based on anisotropic $N_f=2$ lattice QCD gauge configurations. In the scalar channel, we identify the ground state obtained through gluonic operators to be a single-particle state through…
A phenomenological analysis of the scalar glueball and scalar meson spectra is carried out by using the AdS/QCD framework in the bottom-up approach. The resulting spectra are in good agreement for glueballs with lattice QCD results and for…
We obtain a heavy glueball (much heavier than the ones studied by others which usually are in the range of 1-2 GeV) in a bag model calculation with exact discrete single particle states of gluons at finite temperature. This heavy glueball,…
In this work we deal with nontopological solutions of the Q-ball type in two spacetime dimensions. We study models of current interest, described by a Higgs-like and other, similar potentials which unveil the presence of exact solutions. We…
The existence of glueballs within QCD is uncontroversial but their experimental verification is still in doubt. We discuss the new possibilities for a search of glueballs as the leading object in gluon jets at the LHC. We summarize previous…
We study the three-body Coulomb problem in two dimensions and show how to calculate very accurately its quantum properties. The use of a convenient set of coordinates makes it possible to write the Schr\"{o}dinger equation only using…
Relying on an effective-string approach in which glueballs --- bound states of pure Yang-Mills theory --- are modelled by closed strings, we give arguments suggesting that anyonic glueballs, \textit{i.e.} glueballs with arbitrary spin, may…
We establish new results for the radial nonlinear wave and Schr\"odinger equations on the ball in $\Bbb R^2$ and $\Bbb R^3$, for random initial data. More precisely, a well-defined and unique dynamics is obtained on the support of the…
We analyze upper limits on a possible gluon mass, $m_g$. We first discuss various ways to modify quantum chromodynamics to include $m_g \ne 0$, including a bare mass, a Higgs mechanism, and dynamical breaking of color SU(3)$_c$. From an…
Scalar and tensor glueball spectrum is studied using an improved gluonic action on asymmetric lattices in the pure SU(3) gauge theory. The smallest spatial lattice spacing is about 0.08fm which makes the extrapolation to the continuum limit…
With the consideration of spherical symmetry for the potential and mass function, one-dimensional solutions of non-relativistic Schrodinger equations with spatially varying effective mass are successfully extended to arbitrary dimensions…
