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…
The heavy quark-antiquark potential in perturbative QCD is subject to ambiguities. We show how to derive a well-defined and stable short-distance potential that can be matched to results from lattice QCD simulations at intermediate…
Removal of the quenched approximation in the mechanism which produced an analytic estimate of quark-binding potentials, along with a reasonable conjecture of the color structure of the nucleon formed by such a binding potential, is shown to…
We report on an experimental test of classical and quantum dimension. We have used a dimension witness which can distinguish between quantum and classical systems of dimension 2,3 and 4 and performed the experiment for all five cases. The…

The heavy-quark potential is calculated in the framework of gauge/gravity duality using the large-D approximation, where D is the number of dimensions transverse to the flux tube connecting a quark and an antiquark in a flat D+2-dimensional…
We consider propagation of heavy quarks in QCD matter. Because of large quark mass, the radiative quark energy loss appears to be qualitatively different from that of light quarks at all energies of practical importance. Finite quark mass…
The mystery of the origin of the mass of the elementary particles persists despite the success of quantum field theories to the highest level of accuracy. Renormalization program has been the essential part of the calculation of the…
For the first time a rigorous quantum treatment of the Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect in QED and QCD is given. The rate of photon (gluon) radiation by an electron (quark) in medium is expressed through the Green's function of a…
The heavy quark potential and particularly the one proposed by Richardson to incorporate both asymptotic freedom and linear confinement is analyzed in terms of a generalized Borel Transform recently proposed. We were able to obtain, in the…
A scheme is developed which shows how one would, given a light-front Hamiltonian for QCD, extract the $Q\overline{Q}$ potential, i.e. the quantity which corresponds to the potential between two infinitely heavy quarks in a rest frame, from…
We construct a quantum mechanics based on the hypothesis of existing compact extra dimensions for a particle that wants to detect it. By introducing a probability function, we express the transition of particle to the extra 2d window. The…
We discuss quark antiquark energies and the screening mass in hot QCD using the non-perturbative lattice approach. For this purpose we analyze properties of quark antiquark energies and entropies at infinitely large separation of the quark…
We analyze the large-distance behaviour of static quark-anti-quark pair correlations in QCD. The singlet free energy is calculated and the entropy contribution to it is identified allowing us to calculate the excess internal energy. The…
The perturbative three-loop result for the thermodynamic potential of QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential as obtained in the framework of dimensional reduction is compared with the exact result in the limit of large flavor…
The drag and diffusion coefficients of heavy quarks propagating through quark gluon plasma (QGP) have been estimated by shielding both the electric and magnetic type infra-red divergences. The electric type screening in perturbative quantum…
In quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the binding energy of an infinitely heavy quark--antiquark pair in a color singlet state can be calculated as a function of the distance. We investigate this static potential of QCD perturbatively and…
