The impact of dynamical fermions on the vacuum structure of QCD is explored. Of particular interest is the topological charge correlator, $<q(x) q(0) >$, where negative values at small $x$ reveal a sign-alternating layered structure to the…
Vacuum energy changes during cosmological phase transitions and becomes relatively important at epochs just before phase transitions. For a viable cosmology the vacuum energy just after a phase transition must be set by the critical…
Recently, Kaplan proposed an interesting extension of QCD named Extended QCD or XQCD with bosonic auxiliary fields [1]. While its partition function is kept exactly the same as that of QCD, XQCD naturally contains properties of low-energy…
We present an analysis of the dynamics of two-flavour QCD in the vacuum. Special attention is payed to the transition from the high energy quark-gluon regime to the low energy regime governed by hadron dynamics. This is done within a…
The concept of stochastic resonance in nonlinear dynamics is applied to interpret the capacity of noisy quantum channels. The two-Pauli channel is used to illustrate the idea. The fidelity of the channel is also considered. Noise…
Parametric correlations are studied in several classes of covariant density functional theories (CDFTs) using a statistical analysis in a large parameter hyperspace. In the present manuscript, we investigate such correlations for two…
The consistency of effective models with QCD is investigated through the use of the QCD sum rule. Taking the potential model for the heavy quark system, we apply the method to two phenomenologically successful parameter sets, and obtain the…
We construct models of analytic QCD (i.e.,with the running coupling parameter free of Landau singularities) which address several problems encountered in previous analytic QCD models, among them their incompatibility with the ITEP-OPE…
In this article, we present the properties of the C-parameter which is one of event shape variables. We obtain the coupling constants both in the perturbative and in the non-perturbative part of the QCD theory. To achieve this we fit the…
Standard cosmology poses a number of important questions. Apart from its singular origin, it possesses early and late accelerating phases required to account for observations. The vacuum energy has been considered as a possible way to…
Gyroscopic systems in classical and quantum field theory are characterized by the presence of at least two scalar degrees of freedom and by terms that mix fields and their time derivatives in the quadratic Lagrangian. In Minkowski…
Equal time, point to point correlation functions for spatially separated meson currents are calculated with respect to a variational construct for the ground state of QCD. With exact calculations, vector, axial vector and scalar channels…
Some simple expectations for the quark mass dependence of radial excitation energies of heavy-light hadrons based on consideration of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics are discussed. Experimental and theoretical results are reviewed in…
The improved quark mass density- dependent model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both finite nuclei and bulk nuclear matter, is extended to include the strange quark. The parameters of the model are…
We introduce a model of long-range interacting particles evolving under a stochastic Monte Carlo dynamics, in which possible increase or decrease in the values of the dynamical variables is accepted with preassigned probabilities. For…
The contribution from hadronic vacuum polarisation effects is responsible for a large fraction of the theoretical uncertainty in the running of the QED coupling. The current level of uncertainty has become a limitation for electroweak…
Using a simple quasi-particle model of QCD matter, presented some time ago in the literature, in which interactions are modelled by some effective fugacities z, we investigate the interplay between the dynamical content of fugacities z and…
The exploration of the non-perturbative regime of QCD, that is the low-energy portion of the hadron spectrum, requires the adoption of theoretical methods more frequently applied to other, more conventional, quantum many body systems, like…
We review some theoretical ideas concerning diffractive processes. We discuss the Regge Ansatz for the pomeron and the two pomeron model. Then we present the results obtained from nonperturbative QCD for high energy scattering. There we can…
We present the covariance analysis of two successful nuclear energy density functionals, (i) a non-relativistic Skyrme functional built from a zero-range effective interaction, and (ii) a relativistic nuclear energy density functional based…
