The determination of the pattern of hadronic resonances as predicted by Quantum Chromodynamics requires the use of non-perturbative techniques. Lattice QCD has emerged as the dominant tool for such calculations, and has produced many QCD…
We study the high density region of QCD within an effective model obtained in the frame of the hopping parameter expansion. The model still acknowledges the sign problem peculiar to non-zero chemical potential, but it permits the…
We study the effect of chemical potential and nonconformality on the jet quenching parameter in a holographic QCD model with conformal invariance broken by a background dilaton. It turns out that the presence of chemical potential and…
Model-independent predictions for excitation energies, semileptonic form factors and electromagnetic decay rates of isoscalar heavy baryons and their low energy excited states are discussed in terms of the combined heavy quark and large…
We present the results of a detailed study of energy correlations at steady state for a 1-D model of coupled energy and matter transport. Our aim is to discover -- via theoretical arguments, conjectures, and numerical simulations -- how…
We discuss the central and, mostly, spin-dependent potentials in heavy quarkonia $\bar b b, \bar c c$, with two goals in mind. The first is phenomenological: using the splitting between the 1S and 2S pairs, as well as the 1P and 2P quartet…
A comprehensive review is presented of the progress made in further developing the ghost-free Analytic Approach to low-energy QCD since "QCD-97" meeting. It is now formulated as a logically closed ``Analytic Perturbation Theory" algorithm.…
The Cornell potential with the best fitted parameters $\alpha_{s}$ and $\kappa$ are modified by adding terms derived from non-perturbative QCD, which are characterized by a series of non-vanishing vacuum condensates of quarks and gluons. In…
Vacuum polarization mediated by quark loops is susceptible to external electromagnetic fields as well as to the QCD vacuum structure. Employing the stochastic vacuum model, we calculate the modification of the one-loop Euler-Heisenberg…
In this chapter we introduce the $\theta$-dependence and the topological properties of QCD, features of the strongly interacting sector which give rise to the strong CP problem in the more general context of the Standard Model of particle…
Recent massive numerical simulations have shown that the response of a "stochastic resonator" is enhanced as a consequence of spatial coupling. Similar results have been analytically obtained in a reaction-diffusion model, using…
It has been proposed that the energy evolution of QCD amplitudes in the high-energy regime falls in the universality class of reaction-diffusion processes. We review the arguments for this correspondence, and we explain how it enables one…
In this work we introduce and investigate the properties of the "relativistic" Hopfield model endowed with temporally correlated patterns. First, we review the "relativistic" Hopfield model and we briefly describe the experimental evidence…
Thermodynamic properties of the QCD nonperturbative vacuum with two light quarks are studied. It is shown that at low temperatures T<M_\pi relativistic massive pions can be treated within the dilute gas approximation. Analytic temperature…
The compatibility of the QCD sum rules and effective hadronic models predictions are examined. For this purpose we have considered the results for the nucleon self-energy in a dense hadronic environment provided by two independent QCD…
The low-lying energy spectrum of the static-colour-source-anti-source system in a vacuum containing light and strange quarks is computed using lattice QCD for a range of different light quark masses. The resulting levels are described using…
We study the hadron resonance gas model and describe the equation of state of QCD and the vacuum expectation value of the Polyakov loop in the confined phase, in terms of hadronic states with light quarks in the first case, and with exactly…
QCD-based analysis of nonfactorizable parts of weak nonleptonic amplitudes is reported. Nonperturbative effects due to soft gluon exchange play a key role leading to the emergence of a dynamical rule of discarding $1/N_c$ corrections.
Basic chiral QCD parameters (the pion decay constant, the quark and gluon condensates, the dynamically generated quark mass, etc) as well as the vacuum energy density have been calculated from first principles within a recently proposed…
A simple model of a two-mode non-resonant parametric amplifier is studied with special regard to non-classical features such as revivals and squeezing. The methods used apply for an arbitrary pump parameter. Detailed analytical and explicit…
