We study the nature of the QCD vacuum at general number of flavors $N_F$ by numerical simulations on the lattice. Combining the results with those of the perturbation theory, we propose the following picture: 1) For $N_F \ge 17$, there…

We determine the q-bar q condensate for quark masses from zero up to that of the strange quark within a phenomenologically successful modelling of continuum QCD by solving the quark Schwinger-Dyson equation. The existence of multiple…

We investigate the effects of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking on the QCD condensates, based on the nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum, focusing on the quark-gluon mixed one. We employ two different parameterizations…

We calculate gaugino and meson condensates in N=1 SQCD theory with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f < 2N_c matter flavours, by deforming the pure N=2 Super-Yang-Mills plus fundamental matter action with a mass term for the adjoint scalar…

The relation between the chiral quark condensate in QCD sum rules and chiral perturbation theory is clarified with the help of a low-energy theorem for the scalar and pseudoscalar correlation functions. It is found that the quark condensate…

We investigate the effects of flavor SU(3)-symmetry breaking on the quark, gluon, and mixed quark-gluon condensates, based on the nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum. We employ two different parameterizations for the…

We determine the gluino condensate $< \Tr \lambda^2 >$ in the pure ${\cal N}=1$ super Yang-Mills theory (SYM) for the classical gauge groups $SU(r+1)$, $SO(2r+1)$, $USp(2r)$ and $SO(2r)$, by deforming the pure ${\cal N}=2$ SYM theory with…

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…

Recent work by Armoni, Shifman, and Veneziano suggests a large-N equivalence between supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory and one-flavor QCD. One consequence of this "orientifold projection" is that scalar and pseudoscalar mesons in one-flavor…

The screening nature of the potential between external quarks in massless $SU(N_c)$ $QCD_2$ is derived using an expansion in $N_f$- the number of flavors. Applying the same method to the massive model, we find a confining potential. We…

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…

We outline a full non-perturbative proof of planar (large-N) equivalence between bosonic correlators in a theory with Majorana fermions in the adjoint representation and one with Dirac fermions in the two-index (anti)symmetric…

We investigate QCD with a large number of massless flavors with the aid of renormalization group flow equations. We determine the critical number of flavors separating the phases with and without chiral symmetry breaking in SU(Nc) gauge…

Recent results for the QCD phase structure at finite temperature and light-quark chemical potential are summarized, where the cases of N_f = 2 + 1 and N_f = 2+1+1 dynamical quark flavors are considered. Order parameters for the chiral and…

We investigate QCD at large mu/T by using Z_3-symmetric SU(3) gauge theory, where mu is the quark-number chemical potential and T is temperature. We impose the flavor-dependent twist boundary condition on quarks in QCD. This QCD-like theory…

We investigate the confining phase vacua of supersymmetric $Sp(2\NC)$ gauge theories that contain matter in both fundamental and antisymmetric representations. The moduli spaces of such models with $\NF=3$ quark flavors and $\NA=1$…

We calculate the chiral condensate of QCD at infinite coupling as a function of the number of fundamental fermion flavours using a lattice diagrammatic approach inspired by recent work of Tomboulis, and other work from the 80's. We outline…

I argue that a certain perturbative proximity exists between some supersymmetric and non-supersymmetric theories (namely, pure Yang-Mills and adjoint QCD with two flavors, adjQCD$_{N_f=2}$). I start with ${\mathcal N}=2$ super-Yang-Mills…

We compare gap equation predictions for the spontaneous breaking of global symmetries in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to nonperturbative results from holomorphic effective action techniques. In the theory without matter fields, both…

We studied the phase structures of ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric $SO(N_c)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ flavors in the vector representation as we deformed the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric QCD by adding the superpotential of arbitrary polynomial…
