Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

In this report we explore the remarkable connections between light-front dynamics, its
holographic map** to gravity in a higher-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space, and …

Quantum simulations of the dynamics of QCD have been limited by the complexities of
map** the continuous gauge fields onto quantum computers. By parametrizing the gauge …

A bstract We revisit from a modern bootstrap perspective the longstanding problem of
solving QCD in the large N limit. We derive universal bounds on the effective field theory of …

“Dark quark nuggets,” a lump of dark quark matter, can be produced in the early universe for
a wide range of confining gauge theories and serve as a macroscopic dark matter …

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 …

Following previous work we further explore the possibility that the chirally broken phase of
gauge theories admits an infrared fixed point interpretation. The slope of the β function, β …

We analyze the phase transition in improved holographic QCD to obtain an estimate of the
gravitational wave signal emitted in the confinement transition of a pure SU (3) Yang-Mills …

Abstract In commonly used Monte Carlo algorithms for lattice gauge theories the integrated
autocorrelation time of the topological charge is known to be exponentially-growing as the …

A bstract We continue the program [1] of carving out the space of large N confining gauge
theories by modern S-matrix bootstrap methods, with the ultimate goal of cornering large N …
