quantum field physics gives us real good understanding different kinds of forces. i got interested in this topic when i was reading a textbook . and i found interesting how for quantum chromodynamics there are eight types of quarks and all have different effects.

but in the book it was not mentioned how they affected the quark and its effect on the subatomic particle.so when i searched on the net there were no answers so i searched in books but they were not specifically answering my doubt. then i started writing this thread as i knew i would get answers here.

my name actually is atharv and i live in India and i am 13 years old, my question is really important to me.

This is something people study for years before they get anywhere close to recent research. It's impossible to summarize all this in a post.
For quarks the most important interaction is the strong interaction.
There are also the electromagnetic interaction and the weak interaction.

There are eight gluons in QCD. Every flavour of quark (up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom) comes in three copies called red, blue, and green.

As @mfb said, at 13 you will not have the prerequisites to fully grasp QFT and the theory behind strong interactions as it requires years of university level studies of both physics and mathematics. The best you can hope for before you have done that is popularised descriptions. However, beware that popular descriptions is just that - descriptions using imprecise language designed to tell you about something, not to teach you something. Do not fall into the trap of basing argumentation on what you read or hear in popular sources.

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
