The generalized quark-antiquark potential of N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on S^3 x R calculates the potential between a pair of heavy charged particles separated by an arbitrary angle on S^3 and also an angle in flavor space. It can…
Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) is a new approach to QCD problems involving a heavy quark. In the leading approximation, the heavy quark is considered as a static source of the gluon field; 1/m corrections can be systematically included…
We explore the infrared limit of quantum gravity in presence of a cosmological constant or effective potential for scalar fields. For a positive effective scalar potential, one-loop perturbation theory around flat space is divergent due to…
We derive a set of integral equations of the TBA type for the generalized cusp anomalous dimension, or the quark antiquark potential on the three sphere, as a function of the angles. We do this by considering a family of local operators on…
A power counting rule is provided that allows us to obtain upper bounds for the absolute values of Feynman parametric integrands. The rule reflects both the ultraviolet and infrared behavior taking into account that the external momenta are…
We propose and discuss a new approach to the analysis of the correlation functions which contain light-like Wilson lines or loops, the latter being cusped in addition. The objects of interest are therefore the light-like Wilson…
We improve the heavy quark potential, extracted from the Wilson loop average in the Ads/CFT approach by taking the quantum fluctuation of the only radial coordinate of $Ads_5$ which is transverse to the world-sheet of the classical…
Arguments in favor of a large magnitude ( at least two- three times bigger than its factorized value) of the mixed vacuum condensate $ \la \bar{q}G_{\mu\nu}^a G_{\mu\nu}^a q \ra$ are given. The analysis is based on the strict inequalities…
We study the generalized cusp anomalous dimension, or quark-antiquark potential on the three-sphere, in the presence of a large $R$-charge $L$ and at strong coupling. Considering the insertion of a local scalar operator of charge $L$ on a…
We derive a general effective action for quark matter at nonzero temperature and/or nonzero density. For this purpose, we distinguish irrelevant from relevant quark modes, as well as hard from soft gluon modes by introducing two separate…
The leading beta_0^(n-1) alpha_s^n terms in the Wilson coefficient and anomalous dimension of the chromomagnetic operator in the heavy-quark effective Lagrangian are summed to all orders of perturbation theory. The perturbation series for…
We use the assumption of electric-magnetic duality to express the heavy quark potential in QCD in terms of a Wilson Loop $W_{eff}(\Gamma)$ determined by the dynamics of a dual theory which is weakly coupled at long distances. The classical…
Perturbative aspects of ultraviolet and infrared dynamics of noncommutative quantum field theory is examined in detail. It is observed that high loop momentum contribution to the nonplanar diagram develops a new infrared singularity with…
Polygonal lines are used for the paths of the gluon field phase factors entering in the definition of gauge invariant quark Green's functions. This allows classification of the Green's functions according to the number of segments the…
We derive the QCD corrections to the electroweak gauge bosons vacuum polarization functions at high and zero--momentum transfer in the case of arbitrary internal quark masses. We then discuss in this general case (i) the connection between…
Heavy quark medium induced radiative energy loss is derived to all orders in opacity, $(L/\lambda_g)^n$. The analytic expression generalizes the GLV opacity expansion for massless quanta to heavy quarks with mass $M$ in a QCD plasma with a…
Following a semi-classical eikonal approach --- justified at transplanckian energies order by order in the deflection angle $\Theta_s\sim\frac{4G\sqrt{s}}{b} \equiv \frac{2 R}{b}$ --- we investigate the infrared features of gravitational…
Positive powers of the mass parameter in a physical quantity calculated with the help of heavy quark effective theory originate from a Wilson coefficient in the matching of QCD and HQET Green function. We show that this mass parameter…
High-energy particles traversing the Quark-Gluon plasma experience modified (massive) dispersion, although their vacuum mass is negligible compared to the kinetic energy. Due to poor convergence of the perturbative series in the regime of…
Integrable Quantum Field Theories can be solved exactly using bootstrap techniques based on their elastic and factorisable S-matrix. While knowledge of the scattering amplitudes reveals the exact spectrum of particles and their on-shell…
