QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

N Brambilla, S Eidelman, P Foka, S Gardner… - The European Physical …, 2014 - Springer
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

Spontaneous generation of local violation and inverse magnetic catalysis

L Yu, H Liu, M Huang - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
In the chiral symmetric phase, the polarized instanton–anti-instanton molecule pairing
induces a nontrivial repulsive interaction in the isoscalar axial-vector channel. As a …

Center vortices and chiral symmetry breaking in lattice gauge theory

R Höllwieser, T Schweigler, M Faber, UM Heller - Physical Review D …, 2013 - APS
We investigate the chiral properties of near-zero modes for thick classical center vortices in
SU (2) lattice gauge theory as examples of the phenomena which may arise in a vortex …

Critical analysis of topological charge determination in the background of <?format ?>center vortices in lattice gauge theory

R Höllwieser, M Faber, UM Heller - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2012 - APS
We analyze topological charge contributions from classical SU (2) center vortices with
shapes of planes and spheres using different topological charge definitions, namely the …

Chiral superfluidity of the quark–gluon plasma

T Kalaydzhyan - Nuclear Physics A, 2013 - Elsevier
In this paper we argue that the strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma can be considered as
a chiral superfluid. The “normal” component of the fluid is the thermalized matter in common …

New indication on scaling properties of strangeness production in collisions at RHIC

MV Tokarev, I Zborovský - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2017 - World Scientific
Experimental data on transverse momentum spectra of strange particles (KS 0, K−, K∗ 0, ϕ,
Λ, Λ∗, Σ∗, Ξ−, Ω) produced in pp collisions at s= 2 0 0 GeV obtained by the STAR and …

Long range order in gauge theories: Deformed QCD as a toy model

E Thomas, AR Zhitnitsky - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation …, 2013 - APS
We study a number of different ingredients related to long range order observed in lattice
QCD simulations, using a simple “deformed QCD” model. This model is a weakly coupled …

Topological and magnetic properties of the QCD vacuum probed by overlap fermions

VV Braguta, PV Buividovich, T Kalaydzhyan… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2013 - arxiv.org
We study some of the local CP-odd and magnetic properties of the non-Abelian vacuum with
use of overlap fermions within the quenched lattice gauge theory. Among these properties …
