The aim of this review is to demonstrate that there exists a coherent picture of strong interactions, based on instantons. Starting from the first principles of QCD - via the microscopic mechanism of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking - one arrives to a quantitative description of light hadron properties, with no fitting parameters. The discussion of the importance of instanton-induced interactions in soft high-energy scattering is new.

  1. Experimental access to the gluonic origin of the proton mass

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The scalar gluonic trace form factor of the proton can be reconstructed from DVCS quark GFFs, near-threshold J/ψ gluon GFFs, and the nucleon sigma-term form factor.

  2. Heavy mesons from the QCD instanton vacuum beyond the static limit

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Computes f_B, residual mass Λ, kinetic matrix element λ1, and Isgur-Wise slope in instanton vacuum with finite-mass heavy-light vertex calibrated to B data.

  3. Electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from the instanton vacuum

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Nucleon EM form factors computed in instanton vacuum model with parameters fixed by saddle-point equation yield proton charge radius 0.841 fm matching muonic hydrogen and good agreement on Q2 dependence of ratios.

  4. Quark orbital angular momentum as a chiral magnetic effect

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The calculation yields a large negative orbital angular momentum L_{u-d} from chiral magnetic effects that partially cancels the positive spin contribution and reduces total J_{u-d} to match lattice QCD.

  5. The color force acting on a quark in the pion and nucleon

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In the instanton liquid model, the color force on a struck quark in the pion and nucleon is derived from twist-3 operators, related to gravitational and transversity form factors, and mapped in the transverse plane wi...

  6. Multipole structure of the nucleon tensor form factors

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In the chiral quark-soliton model with 1/N_c corrections, the isoscalar tensor charge is 0.81, the isovector anomalous tensor magnetic moment is 1.97, and the isoscalar tensor quadrupole moment is 5.98, completing the...

  7. CP conservation in the strong interactions

    hep-ph 2024-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    CP conservation in QCD follows from taking the infinite volume limit prior to summing over topological sectors, shown consistent with steepest-descent contours and chiral EFT.
