This series of lectures consists of two parts. In the first part the foundations of perturbative and non perturbative formulation are discussed. The ambiguity in the definition of vacuum condensates is then analyzed. In the second part the…
Since the start of the heavy-ion collision programs at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, the study of jet modifications resulting from their interactions with the produced QCD matter has provided a unique…
This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation that contained also three original articles, hep-ph/0212283, hep-ph/0305183 and hep-ph/0311323. Our purpose is to review the history and present…
I review a number of topics where conventional wisdom in hadron physics has been challenged. For example, hadrons can be produced at large transverse momentum directly within a hard higher-twist QCD subprocess, rather than from jet…
In this review I am going to present biased by personal experience review of QCD. The review covers topics like Improved Transverse Momentum Dependent Factorization, $k_T$ dependent splitting functions, Transversal Momentum Dependent parton…
The interaction of a jet with the medium created in heavy-ion collisions is not yet fully understood from a QCD perspective. This is mainly due to the non-perturbative nature of this interaction which affects both transverse jet momentum…
An impact of nonperturbatively-treated soft gluon modes on the value of anomalous magnetic moment of muon $a_\mu$ is studied within the mean-field approach to QCD vacuum and hadronization. It is shown that radial excitations of vector…
We review construction of the improved holographic models for QCD-like confining gauge theories and their applications to the physics of the Quark-gluon plasma. We also review recent progress in this area of research. The lecture notes…
We discuss the spontaneous breakdown of chiral symmetry in Quantum Chromodynamics by considering gluonic instanton configurations in the partition function. It is shown that in order to obtain nontrivial fermionic correlators in a two…
The gravitational form factors for a hadron, the form factors for the hadron matrix element of the QCD energy-momentum tensor, not only describe the coupling of the hadron with a graviton, but also serve as unique quantities for describing…
We review recent progress in understanding quarkonium dynamics inside the quark-gluon plasma as an open quantum system with a focus on the definition and nonperturbative calculations of relevant transport coefficients and generalized gluon…
Hadronization corrections to the predictions of perturbative QCD are reviewed. The existing models for the conversion of quarks and gluons into hadrons are summarized. The most successful models give a good description of the data on…
Recent developments provided evidence that the dimension 2 gluon condensate <A^2> is important for the nonperturbative regime of Yang-Mills theories (quantized in the Landau gauge). We show that it may be relevant for the Dyson-Schwinger…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory governing the strong interaction of particles. It describes the interactions that bind quarks and gluons into protons and neutrons, and binds these into nuclei. We believe QCD to be as fundamental…
The quark gluon plasma generated in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions may possess sizable momentum-space anisotropies that cause the longitudinal and transverse pressures in the local rest frame to be significantly different. We review…
We review recent progress in modeling the quark-gluon content of mesons and their low-energy interactions through the Global Color Model field theory. An emphasis is placed on techniques that are shared with the approach based on…
We present non-perturbative first-principle results for quark-, gluon- and meson $1$PI correlation functions of two-flavour Landau-gauge QCD in the vacuum. These correlation functions carry the full information about the theory. They are…
We review recent results on QCD at finite temperature. Main emphasis is put on a discussion of observables which are of immediate interest to experimental searches for the Quark Gluon Plasma, i.e. the phase transition temperature, the…
We provide an inkling of recent progress in hadron physics made using QCD's Dyson-Schwinger equations, reviewing: the notion of in-hadron condensates and a putative solution of a gross problem with the cosmological constant; a…
Based on the kinetic theory, the non-Abelian medium property of hot Quark-Gluon Plasma is investigated. The nonlinearity of the plasma comes from two aspects: The nonlinear wave-wave interaction and self-interaction of color field. The…
