In supersymmetric QCD with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f flavors, it is known that instantons generate a superpotential if N_f=N_c-1 and deform the moduli space of vacua if N_f=N_c. But the role of instantons has been unclear for N_f>N_c. In…
The instanton--antiinstanton pair induced asymptotics of perturbation theory expansion for QCD correlators is considered. It is argued that though the true asymptotics is dominated by renormalon, the instanton-induced contribution may…

Various QCD correlators are calculated in the instanton liquid model in zeromode approximation and $1/N_c$ expansion. Previous works are extended by including dynamical quark loops. In contrast to the original "perturbative" $1/N_c$…
Instanton-dyons, also known as instanton-monopoles or instanton-quarks, are topological constituents of the instantons at nonzero temperature and holonomy. We perform numerical simulations of the ensemble of interacting dyons for the SU(2)…
We compute the effect of small-size instantons on the coefficient function of the chiral condensate in the operator product expansion of current-current correlators. Furthermore, we also compute the instanton corrections associated with…
Recent data on B decays involving $\eta'$ may be explained if the singlet axial current of charmed quarks has large matrix element to $\eta'$, and instantons were shown to be able to generate this effect. We study the magnitude of charm…
We exhibit the method for obtaining non perturbative quark and gluonic vacuum condensates from a model truncation of QCD. The truncation allows for a phenomenological description of the quark-quark interaction in a framework which maintains…

We have measured the spin-dependent structure function $g_1^p$ of the proton in deep inelastic scattering of polarized muons off polarized protons, in the kinematic range $0.003<x<0.7$ and $1\,\mbox{GeV}^2<Q^2<60\,\mbox{GeV}^2$. Its first…
The properties of QCD vacuum and the confinement of quarks and gluons certainly influence the multiparticle production processes. Some phenomenological attempts of the consideration of related collective effects and the possibilities of…
We calculate the contribution to the gravitational form factors (GFFs) from the gluon part of the energy-momentum tensor in QCD. We take a simple spin $1/2$ composite state, namely a quark dressed with a gluon. We use the light-front…
