Higgs model with ghost-field formalism
The Higgs model for the interaction of vector and scalar fields is treated by means of the ghost-field formalism, which preserves the unitarity of the scattering operator as well as simplifies the renormalization procedure. Our ghost-field formalism has some similarity to the ${R}_{\ensuremath{\xi}}$ formalism with $\ensuremath{\xi}=1$, but it does not require the introduction of the so-called gauge-compensating terms. Applications to the second-order self-energy of a scalar particle and to the fourth-order scattering of vector particles are discussed.

Quantum-chromodynamic potential model for light and heavy quarkonia
Our earlier treatment for the investigation of the cc-bar, bb-bar, and tt-bar spectra is extended to other p quarkonia with u, d, s, c, and b quarks. We find that it is possible to account fully for the observed ground-state hyperfine splittings of light as well as heavy quarkonia provided that the perturbative quantum-chromodynamic potential is supplemented not only by the nonperturbative confining potential but also by a nonperturbative annihilation potential which rapidly decreases with increase in the quark mass. We also give our predictions for the experimentally interesting bu-bar, bs-bar, and bc-bar systems with unknown mass splittings.

Nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia.
A nonsingular potential model for heavy quarkonia is described which does not require recourse to an illegitimate perturbative treatment for the investigation of quarkonium spectra. Our overall results for the energy levels, the leptonic widths, and the E1 transition widths are in very good agreement with the experimental data for bb-bar and they are reasonably good for cc-bar. We also find that the confining part of the quarkonium potential is scalar-vector exchange rather than the currently favored scalar exchange.

MULTIPLE PHOTON PRODUCTION IN QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS
Multiple production of photons in high-energy processes in quantum electrodynamics is investigated, and the electron-positron annihilation is specially discussed in detail. It is found that at very high energies in cosmic rays, multiple production of up to four or five observable photons can easily take place. But, the probability, according to quantum electrodynamics, for the multiple production of a larger number of observable photons is quite small.

Relativistic Hadron Model with Intrinsic Mass Splittings
A simple mechanism for the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-symmetry breaking in strong interactions is introduced by using the formalism of the multispinor field equations, which avoids the use of physical quarks but has resemblance to the quark model. The resulting treatment leads to the Gell-Mann-Okubo mass formula for baryons, but not for mesons. It yields approximate values of -19.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} and 33\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} for the $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\eta}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ and $\ensuremath{\varphi}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\omega}$ mixing angles, respectively, and also provides a reasonable explanation for the intermultiplet meson mass formula $m_{K}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}\ensuremath{-}m_{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}=m_{{K}^{*}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}\ensuremath{-}m_{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{}{}_{}{}^{2}$.

Properties of the SU(Nc) Gluon Plasma
We investigate the deconfinement transition in SU(Nc) gauge theories, and properties of the deconfined phase. A detailed lattice study of SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories are conducted, and finite volume and cutoff effects on thermodynamic observables are studied. The scaling of the deconfinement transition point with lattice spacing is used to calculate the scale, Lambda_MSbar. The continuum estimates of the thermodynamic quantities are used to study properties of the gluon plasma. In particular, the approach to conformal limit is studied. We do not find any evidence of a strongly coupled, conformal phase in these theories.

Finite size scaling on the phase diagram of QCD
In the last few years there has been remarkable progress in the comparison of experimental data on the shape of event-by-event distributions of conserved quantities and lattice thermodynamic predictions based on the grand canonical ensemble. In this talk we discuss how the QCD crossover temperature and the freezeout curve are extracted from the analysis of fluctuations. We report that one can also go further and locate the QCD critical point at µ }~ 2Tc. We also list the systematics which must be brought under control in future.

Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations of a two-dimensional gauge theory
Through a study of the dynamics of the two-dimensional U(1) pure gauge theory we find exponential slowing down in barrier penetration problems. We verify that the dynamical critical exponent in HMC can be tuned exactly to 1, and that normal and gauge fixed updates have equal cost.

Intrinsic density and energy dependence: Exchange effects in alpha-nucleus scattering
The exchange effect for the alpha-nucleus potential has been computed by folding in the density matrices with a finite range effective interaction. The ''effective'' exchange interaction is both density and energy dependent. The potential agrees closely with phenomenology.
