We show that instanton calculations in QCD become theoretically well defined in the gluon saturation environment which suppresses large size instantons. The effective cutoff scale is determined by the inverse of the saturation scale. We…
We show that the instanton-induced inelastic processes, leading to multi-gluon production in in high-energy parton-parton scattering, are considerably enhanced over the quasi-elastic ones, by a factor of 100. The basic instanton-induced…
We consider the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory, whose topological sectors are restricted to the instanton number with integer multiples of $p$. We can formulate such a quantum field theory maintaining locality and unitarity, and the model…
In the context of the SU(2) slave boson theory we show that condensation of holons can result in the zero mode of a nodal spinon in a single instanton potential. Instanton contribution in the presence of the zero mode induces the 't Hooft…
Mixing of the pseudoscalar mesons is discussed in the quark-flavor basis with the hypothesis that the basis decay constants follow the pattern of particle state mixing. The divergences of the axial vector currents which embody the axial…
The arcane ADHM construction of Yang-Mills instantons can be very naturally understood in the framework of D-brane dynamics in string theory. In this point-of-view, the mysterious auxiliary symmetry of the ADHM construction arises as a…
We derive the non-perturbative corrections to the free energy of the two-matrix model in terms of its algebraic curve. The eigenvalue instantons are associated with the vanishing cycles of the curve. For the (p,q) critical points our…
It is shown that the instanton-induced interaction in qq pairs, iterated in t-channel, leads to a meson-exchange interactions between quarks. In this way one can achieve a simultaneous understanding of low-lying mesons, baryons and the…
We investigate the relation between instantons and monopoles in the Laplacian Abelian Gauge using analytical methods in the continuum. Our starting point is the fact that the 't Hooft instanton with its high symmetry leads to a pointlike…
We study instanton contributions to hadronic decays of the scalar glueball, the pseudoscalar charmonium state $\eta_c$, and the scalar charmonium state $\chi_c$. Hadronic decays of the $\eta_c$ are of particular interest. The three main…
It is well known that non-abelian Yang-Mills theories present non-trivial minima of the action, the so-called instantons. In the context of electroweak theories these instanton solutions may induce violations of baryon and lepton number of…
The instanton vacuum picture is used to study hadronic matrix elements of the twist-3 (dimension-4, spin-1) QCD operators measuring the quark spin density and spin-orbit correlations. The QCD operators are converted to effective operators…
Numerical and anaytical studies of the instanton liquid model have allowed the determination of many hadronic parameters during the last 13 years. Most part of this thesis is devoted to the extension of the analytical methods. The meson…
We investigate the dynamics responsible for generating the potential of the $\eta'$, the (would-be) Goldstone boson associated with the anomalous axial $U(1)$ symmetry of QCD. The standard lore posits that pure QCD dynamics generates a…

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts the existence of quantum tunnelling processes across topological inequivalent vacua, known as Instantons. In the electroweak sector, instantons provide a source of baryon asymmetry within the…
We show that $QCD_2$ with adjoint fermions involves instantons due to nontrivial $\pi_1[SU(N)/Z_N]~=~Z_N$. At high temperatures, quasiclassical approximation works and the action and the form of effective (with account of quantum…
This study is part of a research program aimed to investigate the relations between instantons, monopoles, and chiral symmetry breaking. Monopoles are important 3-dimensional topological configurations existing in QCD, which are believed to…
Mixing of the pseudoscalar mesons is discussed in the quark-flavor basis. The divergences of the axial vector currents which embody the axial vector anomaly, combined with the assumption that the decay constants follow the pattern of…
