We study lattice cutoff effects on the confinement-deconfinement transition and the $Z_3$ symmetry in $SU(3)$-Higgs theory in $3+1$ dimensions. The Higgs in this study is a complex triplet with vanishing bare mass and quartic coupling. The…

Following Feynman's lectures on gravitation, we consider the theory of the gravitational (massless spin-2) field in flat spacetime and present the third- and fourth-order Lagrangian densities for the gravitational field. In particular, we…

We study the relation between quark confinement and chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. Using lattice QCD formalism, we analytically express the various "confinement indicators", such as the Polyakov loop, its fluctuations, the Wilson loop,…

We employ a manifestly covariant formalism to compute the tree-level amputated Green's function of non-minimally coupled scalar fields in quadratic gravity in a de Sitter background. We study this Green's function in the adiabatic limit,…

An approximate procedure for performing nonperturbative calculations in quantum field theories is presented. The focus will be quantum non-Abelian gauge theories with the goal of understanding some of the open questions of these theories…

We discuss the general form of the transmission spectrum through a molec- ular junction in terms of the Green function of the isolated molecule. By introducing a tight binding method, we are able to translate the Green func- tion properties…

We discuss the phase structure and thermodynamics of QCD by means of dynamical chiral effective models. Quark and meson fluctuations are included via the functional renormalization group. We study the influence of confinement in addition to…

We present a new theoretical approach, unrestricted self-energy embedding theory (USEET) that is a Green's function embedding theory used to study problems in which an open, embedded system exchanges electrons with the environment. USEET…

Using combined strong coupling and hopping parameter expansions, we derive an effective three-dimensional theory from thermal lattice QCD with heavy Wilson quarks. The theory depends on traced Polyakov loops only and correctly reflects the…

We analytically study the relation between quark confinement and spontaneous chiral-symmetry breaking in QCD. In terms of the Dirac eigenmodes, we derive some formulae for the Polyakov loop, its fluctuations, and the string tension from the…

We perform a perturbative analysis for the nonequilibrium Green functions of the spinless Falicov-Kimball model in the presence of an arbitrary external time-dependent but spatially uniform electric field. The conduction electron…

Green functions in a quantum field theory can be expanded as bivariate series in the coupling and a scale parameter. The leading logs are given by the main diagonal of this expansion, i.e. the subseries where the coupling and the scale…

We have previously found analytically a very unusual and unexpected form of confinement in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. This confinement occurs in the deconfined phase of the theory. The free energy of a single static test quark diverges, even…

Alexander Andreevich Andrianov was a remarkable personality in Russian physics during the last decades. A member of th prestigious school of theoretical physics in Saint Petersburg, he made relevant contributions to a number of topics along…

Finite size effects alter not only the energy levels of small systems, but can also lead to new effective interactions within these systems. Here the problem of low energy quantum scattering by a spherically symmetric short range potential…

In this work we present a three step procedure for generating a closed form expression of the Green's function on both closed and open finite quantum graphs with general self-adjoint matching conditions. We first generalize and simplify the…

This is the first in a series of papers, in which we compute the third-order QCD corrections to top-antitop production near threshold in e+ e- collisions. The present paper provides a detailed outline of the strategy of computation in the…

We give a brief overview of the problem of quark confinement in hadronic physics, and outline a few of the suggested explanations of the confining force.

We review the status of calculations of Yang-Mills Green functions from Dyson-Schwinger equations. The role of truncations is discussed and results for the four-gluon vertex are presented.

Some critical remarks are presented, concerning the abelian projection theory of quark confinement.
