Why is it justified to focus on gauge transformations constant at spatial infinity in QCD instantons?
In the context of Yang-Mills theories and QCD instantons, much of the literature and conventional treatment hinges on the consideration of gauge transformations that remain constant at spatial ...

Why does non-perturbative QCD need to be regularized and renormalized?
The $n$-point correlation functions of QCD, which define the theory, are computed by performing functional derivatives on $Z_{QCD}[J]$, the generating functional of QCD,
$$\frac{\delta^nZ_{QCD}[J]}{\...

How does AdS/CFT help us understand non-perturbative aspects of QCD?
I've heard AdS/CFT has found applications in many areas of physics where nonperturbative aspects leave us crippled in making any simple calculations.
Among these applications, I also have heard that ...

Non-perturbative approach to high-energy physics
I know that main numerical approach to modeling high-energy physics events are Monte-Carlo event generators. But they are using perturbative description of collision and decay processes of particles.

Why is the chiral condensate a negative quantity?
The chiral condensate serves as an order parameter for the chiral phase transition. Thus, it is a finite quantity in one phase and vanishes in the other phase. It is given as a vacuum expectation ...

Is QCD parity conserving also non-perturbatively?
Since QCD is fundamentally non-perturbative at low energies one may ask if QCD is still Parity conserving. In the path-integral formalism using the Faddeev–Popov ghosts as gauge fixing terms the ...

What are some good resources to learn about perturbative and non-perturbative approaches to QCD, for example Lattice QCD, at an introductory level?
I am writing at an introductory level about the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon and part of that is the subsequent Lattice QCD that potentially verifies the results from the experiments that ...

Physical interpretation of hadron distribution amplitudes
A parton fragmentation function can be interpreted as the probability that a final state hadron originated from that particular hadron.
A parton distribution function can be interpreted as the ...

$SU(2)$ gauge SUSY with Affleck-Dine-Seiberg term
Consider SUSY gauge theory with $SU(2)$ group and matter fields $Q$ and $\bar{Q}$ in fundamental and anti-fundamental representations correspondently and the following superpotential:
$$W=\frac{{\...

How is $\Lambda_{\textrm{QCD}}$ relevant in the non-perturbative regime?
The famous $\Lambda_{\textrm{QCD}}$ parameter enters through the one-loop running of the QCD coupling, through a relation similar to the following:
$$\alpha_S(Q^2)=\frac{\alpha_S(Q^2_0)}{1+b\ln(Q^2/Q^...

QCD generating functional and QCD vacuum from nonperturbative to perturbative regime!
The complete generating functional in QCD (starting from the most general renormalizable, Lorentz invariant and gauge invariant Lagrangian) given by $$Z_\theta[J]=\int \mathcal{D}A \exp i\int d^4x~ {\...

What's the difference between perturbative QCD, non-perturbative QCD, and gauge theory QCD?
I'm trying to get the ideal of QCD, and it turns out that there seems to be several versions, and some of which does not appear to agree with each other at a glance.
What's the difference, and how ...

Why is lattice QCD called non-perturbative?
Like, if you are approximating a smooth structure with a discrete lattice, isn't this like a perturbation from smooth space-time?
If Feynman diagrams are a perturbative method, why are Feynamn ...

Question about the vacua of the Standard Model
This question is probably based on a misunderstanding. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and if unclear, I'll try to put it in a clearer language.
In Yang-Mills theory such as the theory of strong ...

Non-Perturbative effects QCD and the Standard Model?
I read in an article that the Standard Model leaves unanswered questions about the non-perturbative effects of the QCD.
I have basic knowledge about the perturbative and non-perturbative QCD. Could ...
