In these proceedings, we investigate non-perturbative models for Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) motivated by the behavior of the Landau-gauge lattice gluon propagator with the purpose of testing their validity in the perturbative regime of…
In a classical field model involving extended dual electromagnetic fields quark-like particles are shown to have fractional charges and a confining energy that provides an asymptotically free spherical surface. A suggestion is made for…
Strong QED has attracted attention recently partly because many astrophysical phenomena have been observed to involve electromagnetic fields beyond the critical strength for electron-positron pair production and partly because terrestrial…
We present a new perspective on the study of the behavior of the strong coupling $\alpha_s(Q^2)$ -- the fundamental coupling underlying the interactions between quarks and gluons as described by the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) -- in the…
The chirally unbroken and the superconducting 2SC and CFL phases are investigated in the chiral limit within a Dyson-Schwinger approach for the quark propagator in QCD. The hierarchy of Green's functions is truncated such that at vanishing…

Recent progress in our studies of propagators and three-point functions in Landau gauge for QCD and QCD-like theories is presented. Special emphasis is put on the properties of the three-gluon vertex and the quark-gluon vertex. The effect…

Bilinear Euclidean quark and gluon correlators with Wilson links have been used widely for applications of large-momentum effective field theories to computing non-perturbative collinear and soft parton physics. Due to color confinement,…

Derivation of the procedures that can be applied in evaluating two-time correlation function in terms of coherent-state propagator and corresponding Q-function is presented. On the basis that the involved functions are generally exponential…
We construct the effective model based on QCD with gluon condensate. Under the assumption that the gluons are condensed with the sharp momentum peak in the momentum space, we formulate the effective field theory incorporating both the gluon…
In SU(3) lattice QCD, we improve a method to extract gauge fields from link variables analytically. With this method, we perform the first study on the effective mass generation of off-diagonal gluons and infrared Abelian dominance in the…
The potential between infinitely heavy quarks in a color singlet state is of fundamental importance in QCD. While the confining long distance part is inherently non-perturbative, the short-distance (Coulomb-like) regime is accessible…
Perturbative QCD has made significant progress over the last few decades. In the first part, we present an introductory overview of perturbative QCD as seen from a modern viewpoint. We explain the relation between purely perturbative…
The ground state of the two-dimensional (2D) Hubbard model is investigated by adopting improved wave functions that take into account intersite electron correlation beyond the Gutzwiller ansatz. The ground-state energy is lowered…
Quark-hadron duality is an interesting and potentially very useful phenomenon, as it relates the properly averaged hadronic data to a perturbative QCD result in some kinematic regions. While duality is well established experimentally, our…
