The aim of this review is to demonstrate that there exists a coherent picture of strong
interactions, based on instantons. Starting from the first principles of Quantum …

We review results concerning the θ dependence of 4D SU (N) gauge theories and QCD,
where θ is the coefficient of the CP-violating topological term in the Lagrangian. In particular …

It was recently proposed that there is a phase in thermal QCD (IR phase) at temperatures
well above the chiral crossover, featuring elements of scale invariance in the infrared (IR) …

We represent Polyakov loops and their correlators as spectral sums of eigenvalues and
eigenmodes of the lattice Dirac operator. The deconfinement transition of pure gauge theory …

While sign-coherent 4-dimensional structures cannot dominate topological charge
fluctuations in the QCD vacuum at all scales due to reflection positivity, it is possible that …

Overlap fermions have an exact chiral symmetry on the lattice and are thus an appropriate
tool for investigating the chiral and topological structure of the QCD vacuum. We study …

We present a study of α MOM (p) at small p computed from the lattice in the quenched
approximation (nf= 0). It shows a dramatic∝ p 4 law which can be understood within an …

We study the interplay between Dirac eigenmodes and center vortices in SU (2) lattice
gauge theory. In particular, we focus on vortex-removed configurations and compare them to …

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 …
