I discuss the chiral dynamics of Gribov's theory of confinement. At a critical coupling $\alpha_s^c$ the light quark vacuum undergoes a series of phase transitions which should be taken into account in the application of chiral perturbation…
We discuss how the presence of a squeezed gluon vacuum might lead to quark confinement in the framework of the global colour model of QCD. Using reduced phase space quantization of massive vector theory we construct a Lorentz invariant and…
Three-quark potentials are studied in great details in the three-dimensional $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory at finite temperature, for the cases of static sources in the fundamental and adjoint representations. For this purpose, the…
We investigate the behaviour of a single qubit coupled to a low-dimensional, ultra-cold Fermi gas. The scattering between the system and the fermions leads to the loss of any coherence in the initial state of the qubit and we show that the…
Problems of finite-temperature quantum statistical mechanics can be formulated in terms of imaginary (Euclidean) -time Green's functions and self-energies. In the context of realistic Hamiltonians, the large energy scale of the Hamiltonian…
Some elementary algebraic points regarding the Green function for a localised flux tube are developed. A calculation of the effective action density is included.
We show that a non-associative structure applied to the algebra of Fermi operators with su(3) colour degrees of freedom leads to a consistent Fermi statistic for the tensor operators of the colour algebra. A consequence of this construction…
In this article we report on a new proposal to treat the infrared problems of thermal QCD by taking into account explicitly the confining influence of the Gribov horizon. In order to make clear the possible value of such an approach, we…
The after-dinner talk has by now become a tradition of this Conference series on Quark Confinement and the Hadron Spectrum. On this occasion, I have tried to combine a free-style and (hopefully) amusing presentation with deep questions of…
Using the 1/N_C expansion scheme and truncating the hadronic spectrum to the lowest-lying multiplets of resonances we develop a procedure to implement QCD information on the non-perturbative regime populated by resonances through the use of…
The nonlocal order parameters of the QCD chiral symmetry breaking, namely the nonanomalous three-point Green functions of the quark bilinears belonging to the odd intrinsic parity sector, are studied within the framework of the Resonance…
We consider a simple massive extension of the Landau-DeWitt gauge for SU($N$) Yang-Mills theory. We compute the corresponding one-loop effective potential for a temporal background gluon field at finite temperature. At this order the…
In this work we push the matching between the QCD operator product expansion (OPE) and resonance chiral theory (RchiT) to order alpha_s. To this end we compute two- and three-point QCD Green functions (GFs) in both theories and compare the…
These are notes from the lectures of Giorgio Parisi given at the autumn school "Statistical Physics, Optimization, Inference, and Message-Passing Algorithm", that took place in Les Houches, France from Monday September 30th, 2013, till…
We introduce diquarks as separable correlations in the two-quark Green's function to facilitate the description of baryons as relativistic three-quark bound states. These states then emerge as solutions of Bethe-Salpeter equations for…
In Gribov's scenario in Coulomb gauge, confinement of color charge is due to a long-range instantaneous color-Coulomb potential V(R). This may be determined numerically from the instantaneous part of the gluon propagator D_{44, inst} = V(R)…
The Polyakov loop is the appropriate deconfinement order parameter for Yang-Mills theories without quarks or with quarks in the adjoint representation of the gauge group. However it is not a physical state of the theory so the information…
I comment on a paper by S. B. Goryachev [PRL vol 72, p.1850 (1994)] that presents a theory of non-equilibrium dynamics for scalar systems quenched into an ordered phase. Goryachev incorrectly applies only a global conservation constraint to…
We study the stability of the SYK$_4$ model with a large but finite number of fermions $N$ with respect to a perturbation, quadratic in fermionic operators. We develop analytic perturbation theory in the amplitude of the SYK$_2$…
These lectures discuss recent advances on syzygies on algebraic curves, especially concerning the Green, the Prym-Green and the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjectures. The methods used are largely geometric and variational, with a special…
