New nonlinear equations for field correlators in the large $N_c$ gluodynamics are derived. Nonperturbative confining correlators are shown to satisfy a system of nonlinear scale-invariant equations. Keeping only the simplest, bilocal…
We survey recent progress in understanding the relation of string theory to quantum chromodynamics, focusing on holographic models of gauge theories similar to QCD and applications to heavy-ion collisions.
Point-to-point vacuum correlation functions for spatially separated hadron currents are calculated in quenched lattice QCD on a $16^3\times 24$ lattice with $6/g^2=5.7$. The lattice data are analyzed in terms of dispersion relations, which…
We report about recent progress in computing four-loop massive correlators. The expansion of these correlators in the external momentum leads to vacuum integrals. The calculation of these vacuum integrals can be used to determine Taylor…
We study the gauge invariance of laser-matter interaction. The velocity gauge where the vector potential is expanded to the $n$-th order with respect to the spatial coordinate, and the length gauge where the electric and magnetic fields are…
Integral discriminants provide a simple and fundamental model for non-Gaussian integrals, associated with homogeneous polynomials of degree r in n variables. We argue that, in this context, the study of correlators is equally if not more…
I discuss some calculations of the running coupling in SU($N$) gauge theories from lattice simulations, centering on the work of the UKQCD collaboration. This talk is introductory in nature; full details have been published elsewhere.
Gauge theories with compact symmetry groups possess topologically non-trivial configurations of gauge field. This has dramatic implications for the vacuum structure of Quantum Chromo-Dynamics (QCD) and for the behavior of QCD plasma, as…
A new method of abstracting the independent gauge invariances of higher derivative systems, recently introduced in [1], has been applied to higher derivative field theories. This has been discussed taking the extended Maxwell-Chern-Simons…
The covariant derivative capable of differentiating and parallel transporting tangent vectors and other geometric objects induced by a parameter-dependent quantum state is introduced. It is proved to be covariant under gauge and coordinate…
A gauge-symmetric approach to effective Lagrangians is described with special emphasis on derivations of effective low-energy Lagrangians from QCD. The examples we discuss are based on exact rewritings of cut-off QCD in terms of new…
Invariant tensors play an important role in gauge theories, for example, in dualities of N=1 gauge theories. However, for theories with fields in representations larger than the fundamental, the full set of invariant tensors is often…
Distance correlation is a new measure of dependence between random vectors. Distance covariance and distance correlation are analogous to product-moment covariance and correlation, but unlike the classical definition of correlation,…
Using the renormalization group based smoothing technique we have studied the gauge invariant field strength correlator at T\ne0 and T=0 in pure SU(2) gauge theory. In conjunction with a cluster analysis, the field strength correlator is…
We study the one-loop low-energy effective action for the higher-derivative superfield gauge theory coupled to a chiral matter.
A recent result concerning interacting theories of self-dual tensor gauge fields in six dimensions is generalized to include coupling to gravity. The formalism makes five of the six general coordinate invariances manifest, whereas the sixth…
An technique is extended to estimate some critical exponents without using the expansion over the coupling constant. The data obtained is in a agreement with those found by help of the 2D Onsager method or with recent 3D results. In the…
This talk explores the spin--1 correlators up to O(alpha_s) through a large NC resonance theory. The phenomenological analyses of this kind must take these corrections into account since they produce a larger impact than the first OPE…
The real- and imaginary-time-formalisms of thermal field theory and their extension to gauge theories is reviewed. Questions of gauge (in-)dependence are discussed in detail, in particular the possible gauge dependences of the singularities…
We describe a method of writing down the exact interacting gauge invariant equations for all the modes of the bosonic open string. It is a generalization of the loop variable approach that was used earlier for the free, and lowest order…
