چکیده
With the use of the world-line formalism, the heavy-quark condensate in the SU(N)-QCD is evaluated for the cases when the next-to-1/r term in the quark-antiquark potential at short distances is either quadratic, or linear. In the former case, which takes place in the stochastic vacuum model, the standard QCD-sum-rules result is reproduced. In the other case, the condensate turns out to be UV-finite only in less than four dimensions. This fact excludes a possibility to have, in four dimensions, the linear term in the potential, as well as short strings, at the distances smaller than the vacuum correlation length. The use of the world-line formalism enables one to generalize further both results for the condensate to the case of finite temperatures. A generalization of the QCD-sum-rules result to the case of an arbitrary number of space-time dimensions is also obtained and turns out to be UV-finite, provided this number is smaller than six.

The purpose of these lectures is to provide an introduction to the physics issues which are being studied in the RHIC heavy ion program. These center around the production of new states of matter. The Quark Gluon Plasma is thermal matter which once existed in the big bang which may be made at RHIC. The Color Glass Condensate is a universal form of matter which controls the high energy limit of ...

We clarify the nonperturbative origin of the δ-function singularity at x = 0 in the chiral-odd twist-3 distribution function e(x) of the nucleon. We also compare a theoretical prediction for e(x) based on the chiral quark soliton model with the empirical information extracted from the CLAS semi-inclusive DIS measurement.

Within a quasi-particle model for the equation of state of strongly interacting matter for two quark flavors we include phenomenologically features of the QCD critical point and discuss its impact on the equation of state. In particular, we investigate the influence on the quark number susceptibility and the pattern of isentropic trajectories which describe the evolutionary paths of matter duri...
