QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives
read the original abstract
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a broad sweep of physical problems, in settings ranging from astrophysics and cosmology to strongly-coupled, complex systems in particle and condensed-matter physics, as well as to searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. We also discuss how success in describing the strong interaction impacts other fields, and, in turn, how such subjects can impact studies of the strong interaction. In the course of the work we offer a perspective on the many research streams which flow into and out of QCD, as well as a vision for future developments.

A Phenomenological Model of Mesons for Charged Current Weak Decays
A symmetry-guided phenomenological model organizes leading current-current operators for charged-current decays of heavy-light mesons and reproduces heavy-quark scaling relations for decay constants and form factors.

Charting the different phases of Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons-Higgs theories
In 3D Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons-Higgs theory the Gribov parameter fixed via gap equation reveals a confining phase with complex poles and a deconfined phase with physical gluon excitations.

Coupled-channel study of the three-body $DDK$ and $D^{*}D^{*}K$
The DDK system supports a deeply bound compact state across wide parameters and possibly a shallow three-body halo state near the D-DK threshold, with negligible D*D*K coupling and no resonances.

Three-body molecular states composed of $D^{(*)}$ and two nucleons
The DNN system forms a robust compact bound state in the I=1/2 (1^-) channel across cutoffs, while D*NN exhibits spin-dependent bound states in 0^-, 1^-, and 2^- channels with no resonances found.
