We derive here the equation of state for quark matter with a nontrivial vacuum structure in QCD at finite temperature and baryon density. Using thermofield dynamics, the parameters of thermal vacuum and the gluon condensate function are…
We consider various special cases of gluon condensates at finite temperature. The gluon condensate for an ideal gas of gluons with a given vacuum expectation value is introduced for the sake of comparison with that calculated using the…
We calculate the potential between two static quarks in QCD using modified boundary conditions for the perturbative expansion. Through a change of the Feynman iepsilon prescription we effectively add a "sea" of gluons to the asymptotic…
QCD perturbation theory ignores the compact nature of $SU(3)$ gauge group that gives rise to the periodic $\theta$-vacuum of the theory. We propose to modify the gluon propagator to reconcile perturbation theory with the anomalous Ward…
We use general arguments to show that coloured QCD states when restricted to gauge invariant local observables are mixed. This result has important implications for confinement: a pure colourless state can never evolve into two coloured…
In order to derive equation of state for the pure SU(3) Yang-Mills fields from first principles, it is proposed to generalize the effective potential approach for composite operators to non-zero temperatures. It is essentially…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is a firmly established part of the Standard Model, yet its long distance properties remain challenging at a conceptual level. In recent years significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made…
We discuss the relationship between the large order behavior of the perturbative series for the average plaquette in pure gauge theory and singularities in the complex coupling plane. We discuss simple extrapolations of the large order for…
A recently proposed modified perturbative expansion for QCD incorporating gluon condensation is employed to evaluate the quark and gluon self-energy corrections in the first approximations. The results predict mass values of 1/3 of the…
The analytical perturbative approach, if taken to the limit of its applicability, allows one to predict an energy independent limit for the one-particle invariant density in QCD jets E dn/d^3p at very small momenta p. This is a direct…
Confinement in QCD is caused by vacuum fluctuations of gluon fields. There are two numerically different scales, characterizing nonperturbative QCD vacuum dynamics: a "small" scale, corresponding to gluon condensate, critical temperature…
A variety of unitary gauges for perturbation theory in a background field is considered in order to find those most suitable for a Hamiltonian treatment of the system. We select two convenient gauges and derive the propagators $D_{\mu\nu}$…
The formalism for a non-abelian pure gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions has recently been derived within Discretized Light-Cone Quantization, restricting to the lowest {\it transverse} momentum gluons. It is argued why this model can be a…
We construct an effective low energy Lagrangian of gluodynamics which (i) satisfies all constraints imposed by the Renormalization Group; (ii) is scale and conformally invariant in the limit of vanishing vacuum energy density; (iii) matches…
After a short description of the currents coming from the known conservation laws in classical physics, we look at some further cases which arise after quantization in relation to quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature. In these…
The glueballs lead to gluon and QCD monopole condensations as by-products of color confinement. A color dielectric function $G(|\phi|)$ coupled with Abelian gauge field is properly defined to mediate the glueball interactions at confining…
Sum rules for the nonperturbative piece of correlators (specifically, the vector current correlator) are discussed. The sum rule subtracting the perturbative part is of the superconvergent type. Thus it is dominated by the bound states and…
The bounds on the values of gluon, four-quark and quark-gluon condensates are derived from the requirement of consistency of the sum rules for various correlators of the hybrid current $a_{\mu}=g\bar d\gamma_{\rho}\tilde G_{\rho\mu}u$. The…
We study evolution of colour gluons and prove the possibility of gluon squeezed states at the nonperturbative QCD jet stage. Angular and rapidity dependences of squeezed gluon second correlation function are studied. We demonstrate that the…
It is argued that the ground state of three- and four-colour QCD contains a monopole condensate, necessary for the dual Meissner effect to be the mechanism of confinement, and support its stability on the grounds that it gives the…
