In this talk I report calculable nonperturbative QCD effects to the inclusive semileptonic and radiative B-meson decay rates. Small instantons contribute to the Wilson coefficient functions at scales below $m_b$. It is found that the…
In quantum mechanics and quantum field theory perturbation theory generically requires the inclusion of extra contributions non-perturbative in the coupling, such as instantons, to reproduce exact results. We show how full non-perturbative…
We discuss the role of instantons in the spectroscopy of ordinary and exotic hadrons as well as in high energy reactions. We argue that the instanton induced flavor- and spin-dependent quark-quark and quark-gluon interactions can explain…
The quark-antiquark pairing due to the four-fermion direct coupling induced by the instantons in QCD is studied in the framework of the functional integral method. The integral equations for the order parameters are derived. Several classes…
We study isospin breaking instanton corrections to the operator product expansion of the nucleon correlation functions. After a comparison with quark model calculations based on the 't Hooft interaction, we examine the role of instantons in…
The non-perturbative contribution to the Pauli form factor of the quark, $F_2(Q^2)$, is calculated within an instanton model for the QCD vacuum. It is shown that the instantons give a large negative contribution to the form factor.
QCD point-to-point correlation functions at distances .2-1 fm are very different for different channels, and they tell us a lot about inter-quark interactions. Recent studies based on experimental data, 'instanton liquid' approach and…
In view of the new (preliminary) search results for instanton-induced events at HERA from the H1 collaboration, we present a brief discussion of (controllable) theoretical uncertainties, both in the event topology and the calculated rate.
The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the existence of quantum tunnelling processes across topological inequivalent vacua, known as Instantons. In the electroweak sector, instantons provide a source of baryon asymmetry within the…
We analyze the instanton transitions in the framework of the gauge invariant variational calculation in the pure Yang-Mills theory. Instantons are identified with the saddle points in the integration over the gauge group which projects the…
In this paper the quark zero modes creation effect is studied in the context of the AdS/QCD approach. This effect is generated, in presence of instantons, by a new that can be added in the bulk.
The Single-instanton approximation (SIA) is often used to evaluate analytically instanton contribution to euclidean correlation functions in QCD, at small distances. We discuss how this approximation can be consistently derived from the…
Recent theoretical developments to calculate cross sections of hadronic objects in the high energy limit are summarised and experimental attempts to establish the need for new QCD effects connected with a resummation of small hadron…
This talk is a review of our studies of instantons and their properties as seen in our lattice simulations of SU(2) gauge theory. We have measured the topological susceptibility and the size distribution of instantons in the QCD vacuum. We…
We study the central production of QCD instantons at hadron colliders in events with two large rapidity gaps. These gaps in rapidity are formed by either Pomeron or photon exchanges or a combination of the two. The kT-factorization…
A first part of this review is devoted to a summary of our extensive studies of the discovery potential for instanton(I)-induced, deep-inelastic processes at HERA. Included are some key issues about I-perturbation theory, an exploitation of…
The sensitivity of existing HERA data on the hadronic final state in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) to processes induced by QCD instantons is systematically investigated. The maximally allowed fraction of such processes in DIS is found to…

The instanton contribution to the quark distribution functions in the nucleon is estimated. It is shown, that taking into account the instanton induced interaction between quarks allows to explain the anomalous violation of the Ellis-Jaffe…
The branching processes in parton showers are studied in perturbative QCD for both quark and gluon jets. The emphasis is on the nature of fluctuations of both the parton multiplicities and the spatial patterns of the final states. Effective…
