We use the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) to calculate the mass spectrum and relativistic vertex functions of mesons as quark-antiquark bound states in which at least one of the quarks is either a charm or bottom quark. The quark-antiquark bound-state equation in CST is, similar to the Bethe-Salpeter equation, an integral equation in which the kernel consists of two-particle irreducible...

We present results for the electromagnetic form factors of the $\rho$ meson obtained within point-form relativistic quantum mechanics.

The topological susceptibility $\chi^4$ is famous in QCD. It explains the $\eta^{\prime}$ mass, solving the $U(1)_{A}$ problem. It is also known that $\chi^4$ is related with Veneziano Ghost (VG), an unphysical mass pole in topological current $K_{\mu}$ correlator, that ensure $\chi^4 \neq 0$. Recently, Kharzeev and Levin (KL) attempted to connect the VG with confinement and so with Gribrov...

Questions about quantum field theories at non-zero chemical potential and/or real-time correlators are often impossible to investigate numerically due to the notorious sign problem.

144. A new theoretical method for lattice QCD calculations at finite density beyond the sign problemHideo Suganuma (Kyoto University)09/05/2017, 09:00
We propose a new theoretical method for the practical lattice QCD calculation at finite density as a possible solution of the sign problem in finite-density QCD. In this method, the fermionic determinant becomes real and non-negative, and therefore no sign problem appears and the practical numerical calculation can be performed in lattice QCD.
