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…
We show that requiring the quark partition function to be color singlet of SU(3) color gauge group leads to reordering the thermodynamic potential in terms of the colorless multi-quark modes ($q{\bar q}, qqq, {\bar q}{\bar q}{\bar q}, ...$)…

The improved quark mass density-dependent model (IQMDD) based on soliton bag model is studied at finite temperature. Appling the finite temperature field theory, the effective potential of the IQMDD model and the bag constant $B(T)$ have…
We examine a nonlocal interaction that results from expressing the QCD Hamiltonian entirely in terms of gauge-invariant quark and gluon fields. The interaction couples one quark color-charge density to another, much as electric charge…
The possibility of interpreting baryons containing a single heavy quark as bound states of solitons (that arise in the nonlinear sigma model) and heavy mesons is explored. Particular attention is paid to the parity of the bound states and…
The dynamics of {\it light} fermions propagating in a spatial direction at high temperatures can be described effectively by a two--dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with {\it heavy} effective mass $m_{\rm eff} = \pi T$. Starting from QED,…
I use simple thermodynamic reasoning to argue that at temperatures of order a trillion kelvin, QCD, the theory which describes strongly interacting particles such as protons and neutrons under normal conditions, undergoes a phase transition…
We investigate the thermal behavior of quarks and antiquarks interacting via a temperature-dependent linear potential. The quarks are constituent quarks with dynamically generated masses from the background linear $\sigma$-model.We find a…
We present a simple and intuitive picture for the deconfinement of quarks and gluons at finite temperature: as the temperature increases, QCD behaves like QED at T=0. We show this by calculating the QCD coupling constant as a function of…
The thermodynamic problem of a gas of static quarks carrying U(N) charges and interacting with each other via U(N) electric gauge fields is formulated and solved in the large N limit. In a lattice theory, the solution can be found in any…
In this paper we provide a physical picture for the QCD phase transition in terms of qualitative changes in the spectral functions. Our approach takes into account the crossover nature of this transition and counts for the observed strong…
The models of translationally invariant infinite nuclear matter in the relativistic mean field models are very interesting and simple, since the nucleon can connect only to a constant vector and scalar meson field. Can one connect these to…
We study the asymptotic solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation for the color-singlet reggeon compound states in multi-color QCD. We show that in the leading order of asymptotic expansion, quasiclassical reggeon trajectories have a form of…
A possibility of a quantum single electron soliton (QSES) formation in structures with different dimensionality (0, 1, 2, and 3D) and spectrum (parabolic and linear) placed near metal surface is discussed. These solitons originate as…
In mean field approximation, we study a chiral soliton of the linear sigma model with two flavors at finite temperature and density. The stable soliton solutions are calculated with some appropriate boundary conditions. Energy and radius of…
Virtual quark effects in lattice QCD are studied in an approach where the infrared modes are included in a precise and gauge-invariant manner. At fixed physical volume the required number of modes does not increase in the continuum limit,…
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) Kondo effect is a quantum phenomenon in which heavy quarks ($c$, $b$) exist as impurity particles in quark matter composed of light quarks ($u$, $d$, $s$) at extremely high density. This is analogous to the…
Color confinement is only a supposition, which has not been proved in QCD yet. It is proposed here that macroscopic quark gluon plasma in astrophysics could hardly maintain colorless because of causality. The authors expected that the…
Three-dimensional lattice QCD is studied by Monte Carlo simulations within the quenched approximation. At zero temperature a quark-antiquark condensate is observed in the limit of vanishing quark masses. The condensate vanishes continuously…
