Perturbative QCD with quark and gluon condensates
The quark 〈 ψ ¯ ψ 〉 and gluon ( F μν F μν ) vacuum expectation values are non-vanishing at low orders in α s when the perturbative ground state includes quark and gluon pairs. This offers possibilities of studying the effects of a non-trivial vacuum using formally exact perturbative methods. The QCD Feynman rules are modified only for the free, on-shell quark and gluon propagators at zero four-momentum. Gauge and lorentz invariance is maintained, while chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken by the ground state.

Mesons and baryons from QCD
Abstract We study a gauge covariant method for quark bound states in 3 + 1 dimensions, based on a stationary phase approximation of the gluon path integral. Assuming thet lim | x |→∞ F μν a ( x ) F a μν ( x ) ≠ 0 we find meson (q q ) and baryon (qqq) states bound by a Coulomb + linear potential. The quark wave function is confined, as in the bag model. The high-spin states lie on asymptotically linear Regge trajectories of universal slope.

Duality in Semi-Exclusive Processes
Semi-exclusive processes like \gamma p \to \pi^+ Y are closely analogous to DIS, ep \to eX, in the limit where the momentum transfer |t| to the pion and the mass of the inclusive system Y are large but still much smaller than the total CM energy. We apply Bloom-Gilman duality to this semi-exclusive process. The energy dependence of the \gamma p \to \pi^+ n cross section given by semi-local duality agrees with data for moderate values of |t|, but its normalization is underestimated by about two orders of magnitude. This indicates that rather high momentum transfers are required for the validity of PQCD in the hard subprocess \gamma u \to \pi^+ d. In the case of Compton scattering \gamma p \to \gamma p the analogous discrepancy is about one order of magnitude. In electroproduction the virtuality of the incoming photon can be used to directly measure the hardness of the subprocess.

Test of duality in baryon--antibaryon amplitudes from Reggeon--particle scattering
Abstract By studying the backward production data for meson resonances we investigate the dual properties of baryon-Reggeised antibaryon elastic scattering. We find strong support for the duality prediction that meson resonances in the baryon antibaryon channel should be dual to an exotic trajectory.

Sister trajectories in the dual resonance model
Abstract The existence of a Regge tranjectory γ = α /3 − 1 in the eight-point amplitude of the Dual Resonance Model set of demonstrated. It is suggested that the three presently known trajectories α, β and γ are part of an infinite set of “sister” trajectories, the expected properties of which are discussed.

The Unexpected Role of Final State Interactions in Deep Inelastic Scattering
Rescattering of the struck quark in Deep Inelastic Scattering implies that measured parton distributions are not directly related to the Fock state probabilities of the target wave function. The production amplitudes acquire dynamical phases, which gives rise to shadowing and diffraction in DIS. I review the kinematics and dynamics of DIS as seen in various frames and gauges.

QCD factorization at fixed Q^2(1-x)
Amplitudes of hard {\it exclusive} processes such as \gamma^*(Q^2) N \to \gamma Y, where Y=N (DVCS) or any other state with a limited mass (M_Y^2 << Q^2), factorize into a hard subprocess amplitude and a target (transition) GPD. The corresponding {\it inclusive} cross section, summed over all states Y of a given (limited) mass, is then given by the discontinuity of a forward multiparton distribution. An application to the Drell-Yan process \pi^+ N \to \gamma^*(x_F,Q^2)+Y allows to explain the observed longitudinal polarization of the virtual photon at high x_F.

Rescattering Effects on DIS Parton Distributions

Filling Perturbative Ground States
I discuss a degree of freedom in formulating perturbation theory that is often neglected: the in- and out-states need not be empty. The inclusion of (free) particles in the asymptotic states modifies the on-shell prescription of the free propagator. This affects loop contributions -- but the modified expansion is {\it a priori} as justified as the standard one with Feynman prescription. 
It is possible to dress the quark propagator to all orders with zero-momentum gluons from the perturbative ground state. The dressed quark has no pole and thus cannot appear as an external particle in the S-matrix. Chiral symmetry may be spontaneously broken, but Lorentz and gauge symmetry is exact. Adding loop corrections to this ``dressed tree approximation'' gives a formally exact PQCD expansion.
