We study the large-N volume reduction of QCD with adjoint quarks regularized on the lattice. Specifically, we use Wilson fermions, and while our d-dimensional lattice has (d-1) infinite dimensions, the remaining direction is reduced to a…
The colored objects -- quarks and gluons -- being confined in a small volume $V\sim R_0^3,$ $R_0\sim 0.5$fm inside the QCD bound state get there not small masses $m_{q\bar q}\sim 1$GeV, $m_g\sim 0.5$GeV. This drastically simplifies the QCD…
We consider the fermionic bound states associated with a soliton-antisoliton pair in 1+1 dimensions which have zero energy when the solitons are infinitely far apart. We calculate the energies of these states when the solitons are separated…
We investigate an effective Hamiltonian for QCD at large s, in which longitudinal gauge degrees of freedom are suppressed, but not eliminated. In an axial gauge the effective field theory is a set of coupled (1+1)-dimensional…
The problem of confinement of fermions in 1+1 dimensions is approached with a linear potential in the Dirac equation by considering a mixing of Lorentz vector and scalar couplings. Analytical bound-states solutions are obtained when the…

We analyse the highly excited states in $QCD_2 (N_{c}\rightarrow\infty) $ with adjoint matter by using such general methods as dispersion relations, duality and unitarity. We find the Hagedorn-like spectrum $\rho(m) \sim m^{-a}\exp(\beta_H…
The SU(3)_flavor constituent quark model has been quite successful to explain the properties as well as the observed spectrum of mesons with pseudoscalar and vector quantum numbers. Many radial and orbital excitations of quark-antiquark…
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…
We present a 2+1 dimensional quantum gauge theory with correlated fermions that is exactly solvable by bosonization. This model describes a system of Luttinger liquids propagating on two sets of equidistant lines forming a grid embedded in…

The masses of highly excited negative parity baryons belonging to the $N$ = 3 band are calculated in the $1/N_c$ expansion method of QCD. We use a procedure which allows to write the mass formula by using a small number of linearly…
Some mysterious features of the strong interactions become easily understood if our usual QCD with N=3 is `close to' SU(oo) and if the latter theory is confining. N=oo theories are theoretically simpler; in particular there has been much…
This thesis deals with the study of baryon spectra in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion. The standard tool to study baryon properties is the constituent quark model. The results are naturally model dependent. The $1/N_c$ expansion…
