We fix exactly and uniquely the infrared structure of the full gluon propagator in QCD, not solving explicitly the corresponding dynamical equation of motion. By construction, this structure is an infinite sum over all possible severe…

We show that the anomalous dimension $\gamma_G$ of the scalar glueball operator contains information on the mechanism that leads to the onset of conformality at the lower edge of the conformal window in a non-Abelian gauge theory. In…

We study the two-dimensional N-component Landau-Ginzburg Hamiltonian with cubic anisotropy. We compute and analyze the fixed-dimension perturbative expansion of the renormalization-group functions to four loops. The relations of these…

The perturbative expression of the running strong coupling constant \alpha_{\rm s}(Q^{2}) has an unphysical singularity for Q^{2} = \Lambda^{2}_{\rm QCD}. Various modification have been proposed for the infrared region. The effect of some…

We investigate a large class of perturbative QCD (pQCD) renormalization schemes whose beta functions $\beta(a)$ are meromorphic functions of the running coupling and give finite positive value of the coupling $a(Q^2)$ in the infrared regime…

Perturbative QCD (pQCD) running coupling a(Q^2) (=alpha_s(Q^2)/pi) is expected to get modified at low spacelike momenta 0 < Q^2 < 1 GeV^2 so that, instead of having unphysical (Landau) singularities it remains smooth and finite there, due…

We study the thermal phase transition in colour SU(3) Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with a variable number of fermions in the fundamental representation by using lattice Monte-Carlo simulations. We collect the (pseudo) critical couplings for…

We study the evolution of the coupling in SU(2) gauge field theory with $N_f=4$, 6 and 10 fundamental fermion flavours on the lattice. These values are chosen close to the expected edges of the conformal window, where the theory possesses…

A variant of QCD with the coupling suppressed in the infrared (IR) regime, as suggested by large-volume lattice calculations of the Landau-gauge gluon and ghost dressing functions, is considered. The coupling is further restricted by the…

The dynamics in QED in a strong constant magnetic field and its connection with the noncommutative QED are studied. It is shown that in the regime with the lowest Landau level (LLL) dominance the U(1) gauge symmetry in the fermion…

Perturbative QCD with nf flavours of massless quarks becomes simple in the hypothetical limit nf -> 16.5, where the leading beta-function coefficient vanishes. The Banks-Zaks (BZ) expansion in a0=(8/321)(16.5-nf) is straightforward to…

We investigate the phase structure of lattice QCD for general number of flavors $N_F$. Based on numerical data combined with the results of the perturbation theory we propose the following picture: When $N_F \ge 17$, there is only one IR…

We present a specific class of models for an infrared-finite analytic QCD coupling, such that at large space-like energy scales the coupling differs from the perturbative one by less than any inverse power of the energy scale. This…

Perturbative QCD in mass independent schemes leads in general to running coupling $a(Q^2)$ which is nonanalytic (nonholomorphic) in the regime of low spacelike momenta $|Q^2| \lesssim 1 \ {\rm GeV}^2$. Such (Landau) singularities are…

We study the conformal window of asymptotically free gauge theories containing $N_f$ flavors of fermion matter transforming to the vector and two-index representations of $SO(N),~SU(N)$ and $Sp(2N)$ gauge groups. For $SO(N)$ we also…

Recent interest in novel phases in high density QCD motivates the study of high density supersymmetric QCD (SQCD), where powerful exact results for supersymmetric gauge theories can be brought to bear in the strongly coupled regime. We…

Methods described in the literature for the computation of the QCD running coupling are essentially all defined with respect to the renormalization group equations and these equations are associated with the method of renormalization for…

The polarized nucleon structure function in the nonsinglet case is investigated here by a new insight rather than conventional perturbative QCD (pQCD). For this purpose we note that the solution of the evolution equations in moment space…

I propose a controlled approximation to QCD-like theories with massless quarks by employing supersymmetric QCD perturbed by anomaly-mediated supersymmetry breaking. They have identical massless particle contents. Thanks to the…

The Landau equations give a physically useful criterion for how singularities arise in Feynman amplitudes. Furthermore, they are fundamental to the uses of perturbative QCD, by determining the important regions of momentum space in…
