We briefly summarize some recent theoretical developments in perturbative QCD, emphasizing new ideas which have led to widening the domain of applicability of perturbation theory. In particular, it is now possible to calculate efficiently…

We suggest a version of renormalizable Quantum Field Theory which does not contain non-perturbative effects. This is otained by the proper use of the boundary conditions in the functional integral of the generating functional of Green…

We study meson-meson scattering in a soluble model which describes asymptotically free mesons and confined quark-antiquark pairs via coupled channels. Concretely, the two scattered mesons are assumed to interact through s-channel…

We construct an effective model for the QCD equation of state, taking into account chiral symmetry restoration as well as the deconfinement phase transition. The correct asymptotic degrees of freedom at the high and low temperature limits…

This paper sets up a perturbative treatment of the evolving quantum state of a gravitational system, in a Schr\"odinger-like picture, working about a general background. This connects gauge symmetry, the constraints, gravitational dressing,…

The wormlike chain model of stiff polymers is a nonlinear $\sigma$-model in one spacetime dimension in which the ends are fluctuating freely. This causes important differences with respect to the presently available theory which exists only…

I construct the ground state, up to first nonperturbative order, of the stochastic stabilization of the zero dimensional matrix model which defines 2D Quantum Gravity. It is given by the linear combination of a perturbative wave function…

An outline is given of an extended perturbative solution of Euclidean QCD which systematically accounts for a class of nonperturbative effects, while allowing renormalization by the perturbative counterterms. Proper vertices Gamma are…

We have investigated a closed set of equations for the quark propagator, which has been obtained earlier within a new, nonperturbative approach to two-dimencional covariant gauge QCD. It is shown that this theory implies quark confinement…

We investigate the response of a hot gas of quarks to external electric fields via leading-order perturbation theory. In particular, we discuss how equilibrium is maintained in the presence of the electric field and calculate the electric…

We study ground state properties and particle excitation spectra across a commensurate charge density wave transition in a system of strongly interacting fermions, using series expansion methods and mean-field theory. We consider a…

The structure of the quark propagator of $QCD$ in a confining background is not known. We make an Ansatz for it, as hinted by a particular mechanism for confinement, and analyze its implications in the meson and baryon correlators. We…

In non-commutative field theories conventional wisdom is that the unitarity is non-compatible with the perturbation analysis when time is involved in the non-commutative coordinates. However, as suggested by Bahns et.al. recently, the root…

We start with the QCD sum rules which are originally based on the idea that it is the power-like corrections to the parton model which are related to the confinement. The naive use of the Operator Product Expansion ensures that there is a…

Conventional particle theories such as the Standard Model have a number of freely adjustable coupling constants and mass parameters, depending on the symmetry algebra of the local gauge group and the representations chosen for the spinor…

The phenomenon of scaling in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering is usually explained in terms of the Feynman parton model, and the logarithmic corrections to scaling are explained in the framework of perturbative QCD. For testing the…

Supersymmetry plays a main role in all current thinking about superstring theory. Indeed, many remarkable properties of string theory have been explained using supersymmetry as a tool. So far, there has been no unbroken supersymmetry…

A condensed introduction to quantum gauge theories is given in the perturbative S-matrix framework; path integral methods are used nowhere. This approach emphasizes the fact that it is not necessary to start from classical gauge theories…

We consider expansions of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of models of quantum field theory. For a class of models known as generalized spin boson model we prove the existence of asymptotic expansions of the ground state and the ground state…

We study the relation between two sets of correlators in interacting quantum field theory on de Sitter space. The first are correlators computed using in-in perturbation theory in the expanding cosmological patch of de Sitter space (also…
