I present recent results from lattice simulations of SU(2) gauge theory with Nf=2 Wilson quark flavors, at non-zero quark chemical potential. The thermodynamic equation of state is discussed along with the nature of the high density matter…
We study the phase diagram of two-flavor massless two-color QCD (QC$_2$D) under the presence of quark chemical potentials and imaginary isospin chemical potentials. At the special point of the imaginary isospin chemical potential, called…
We present new non-perturbative results about the meson spectrum and the low-energy constants of QCD in the 't Hooft large-$N$ limit, $N\to\infty$ with $N_{\scriptscriptstyle{\rm f}}/N\to 0$. These are obtained from lattice Monte Carlo…
We had previously obtained an integral equation for mesons in transverse lattice QCD, in the limit of large number of colours and strong transverse lattice gauge coupling [1]. This equation is a generalisation of the 't Hooft equation [2],…
We study the 't Hooft coupling $g_{t}$ and the mass splitting of the ground-state baryons in a chiral quark model inspired by the large $N_{c}$ QCD. Depending on $g_{t}$ the Hartree wavefunction of light quark in baryons is used to map the…

We study QCD vacuum structure with the topological $\theta$ angle using a recently proposed semiclassical approach on $\mathbb{R}^2 \times T^2$ with the 't Hooft and baryon magnetic fluxes. Under the assumption of adiabatic continuity in…
We study an extended QCD model in 2D obtained from QCD in 4D by compactifying two spatial dimensions and projecting onto the zero-mode subspace. This system is found to induce a dynamical mass for transverse gluons -- adjoint scalars in…
We perform lattice numerical simulations to study the phase transition of QCD at finite temperature to clarify the nature of the transition of massless two flavor QCD. We investigate QCD with two light and Nf heavy quarks instead of…
I briefly discuss effective Lagrangians for strong interactions while concentrating on two specific lagrangians for QCD at large matter density. I then introduce spectral duality in QCD a la Montonen and Olive. The latter is already present…

Strong hadronic decays are discussed in the 't Hooft model for the two-dimensional QCD in the limit of infinite number of colours. Adler selfconsistency condition is derived for decays with pions in the final state and the corresponding…
We compute the nonleptonic weak decay width of a heavy-light meson in 1+1 spacetime dimensions with a large number of QCD colors (the 't Hooft model) as a function of the heavy quark mass. In this limit, QCD is exactly soluble, and decay…
We study finite-temperature phase transition and equation of state for two-flavor QCD at $N_t=4$ using an RG-improved gauge action and a meanfield-improved clover quark action. The pressure is computed using the integral method. The O(4)…
Mesons containing light and heavy quarks are studied. Interaction of quarks is described by the funnel-type potential with the distant dependent strong coupling, $\alpha_\S(r)$. Free particle hypothesis for the bound state is developed:…

We present results for the equation of state in (2+1)-flavor QCD using the highly improved staggered quark action and lattices with temporal extent $N_{\tau}=6,~8,~10$, and $12$. We show that these data can be reliably extrapolated to the…
We explain how the strategy of solving renormalization problems in HQET non-perturbatively by a matching to QCD in finite volume can be implemented to include dynamical fermions. As a primary application, some elements of an HQET…
