A distinct feature of Coulomb gauge QCD is that it can be formulated in terms of physical, transverse gluons and quarks alone. The state-counting is then transparent, and the gauge is suited for studies of the excited spectrum. Leaving…
Subject of our investigations is QCD formulated in terms of physical degrees of freedom. Starting from the Faddeev-Popov procedure, the canonical formulation of QCD is derived for static gauges. Particular emphasis is put on obstructions…
We study abelian dominance and monopole condensation for the quark confinement physics using the lattice QCD simulations in the MA gauge. These phenomena are closely related to the dual superconductor picture of the QCD vacuum, and enable…

Quantum chromodynamics predicts that the interaction between its fundamental constituents, quarks and gluons, can lead to different states of strongly interacting matter, dependent on its temperature and baryon density. We first survey the…

While dealing with a Hamiltonian with continuous spectrum we use a tridiagonal method involving orthogonal polynomials to construct a set of coherent states obeying a Glauber-type condition. We perform a Bayesian decomposition of the weight…
We develop a systematic method for computing a renormalized light-front field theory Hamiltonian that can lead to bound states that rapidly converge in an expansion in free-particle Fock-space sectors. To accomplish this without dropping…
Microscopically conserving reduced models of many-body systems have a long, highly successful history. Established theories of this type are the random-phase approximation for Coulomb fluids and the particle-particle ladder model for…
The normalization of the gluon condensate and of renormalon-related power corrections in QCD is computed under the assumption that their ``perturbative'' part dominates over any eventual extra contribution from the non-trivial vacuum. The…
