Recently it has been proposed that the coefficient of the three-point function of the BMN operators in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is related to the three-string interactions in the pp-wave background. We calculate three-point…
We show that pure Yang-Mills theories with Lorentz violation are renormalizable to all orders in perturbation theory. To do this, we employ the algebraic renormalization technique. Specifically, we control the breaking terms with a suitable…
We give a new description of classical Yang-Mills theory by coupling a two-dimensional chiral CFT (which gives the tree-level S-matrix of Yang-Mills theory at genus zero) to a background non-abelian gauge field. The resulting model is…
We use Hamilton-Jacobi theory to construct a gauge-invariant zero-energy candidate ground state for canonically quantized Yang-Mills theory with a "nonlinear normal" factor ordering, generalizing an analogous ordering introduced by Moncrief…
A gauge-invariant field is found which describes physical configurations, i.e. gauge orbits, of non-Abelian gauge theories. This is accomplished with non-Abelian generalizations of the Poincare'-Hodge formula for one-forms. In a particular…
We generalize the (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to an anisotropic form with two gauge coupling constants $e$ and $e^{\prime}$. In an axial gauge, a regularized version of the Hamiltonian of this gauge theory is…
