Physicists who wish to understand the modeling of confinement of quantum
chromodynamics, as exhibited by dual superconductors, will find this book an excellent …

A bstract We estimate the size of the hadronic matrix elements of CP-violating three-gluon
and four-gluon Weinberg operators using sum-rule techniques. In the three-gluon case, we …

This is the first of a sequence of papers that addresses the nonperturbative origin of the
central and spin-dependent forces between quarks. Its main thrust is a focus on meson …

Nonperturbative Wilson coefficients of the operator product expansion (OPE) for the spin-0
glueball correlators are derived and analyzed. A systematic treatment of the direct instanton …

Lattice QCD with N f= 2 flavors of sea quark is used to explore the spectrum and decay of
scalar mesons. We are able to determine the b 1-a 0 mass difference and this leads to the …

We argue that the topological charge of nonabelian gauge theory is unphysical. To show
this statement, we use the Adler-Bardeen theorem and the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin …

We review recent developments in lattice QCD. We first give an overview of its formalism,
and then discuss lattice discretizations of fermions. We then turn to a description of the …

The existing theory of hard exclusive QCD processes is based on two assumptions:(i)
factorization into a hard block convoluted with the light front distribution amplitudes;(ii) use of …

We investigate instanton effects on the heavy-quark potential, including its spin-dependent
part, based on the instanton liquid model. Starting with the central potential derived from the …

In the framework of the instanton vacuum model we make expansion over the current mass
m and number of colors N c and evaluate O (1/N c, m, m/N c, m ln⁡ m/N c) corrections to the …
