We study the behavior of the Yang-Mills flow for unitary connections on compact and non-compact oriented surfaces with varying metrics. The flow can be used to define a one dimensional foliation on the space of SU(2) representations of a…

Discrete minimal surface algebras and Yang Mills algebras may be related to (generalized) Kac Moody algebras, just as Membrane (matrix) models and the IKKT model - including a novel construction technique for minimal surfaces.

Yang-Mills theory and QCD are well-defined for any Lie group as gauge group. The choice G2 is of great interest, as it is the smallest group with trivial center and being at the same time accessible to simulations. This theory has been…

We present a lattice formulation of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory in arbitrary even dimensionality. The UV/IR mixing characteristic of noncommutative field theories is demonstrated at a completely nonperturbative level. We prove a…

We consider bosons on Euclidean R^4 that are minimally coupled to an external Yang-Mills field. We compute the logarithmically divergent part of the cut-off regularized quantum effective action of this system. We confirm the known result…

It is shown that the beta functions for four dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory without matter give integral curves on the moduli space some of which are geodesics of the natural metric on the moduli space. In particular the…

A new state-sum formula for the evaluation of the Yang-Mills measure in the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a closed surface is derived. The formula extends the Kauffman bracket to diagrams that lie in surfaces other than the plane. It…

Yang-Mills theory is growing at the interface between high energy physics and mathematics. It is well known that Yang-Mills theory and Gauge theory in general had a profound impact on the development of modern differential and algebraic…

The construction of a consistent measure for Yang-Mills is a precondition for an accurate formulation of non-perturbative approaches to QCD, both analytical and numerical. Using projective limits as subsets of Cartesian products of…

Matrix theory compactifications on tori have associated Yang-Mills theories on the dual tori with sixteen supercharges. A noncommutative description of these Yang-Mills theories based in deformation quantization theory is provided. We show…

The first seven sections of the paper contain a version of localization for the norm-square of the moment map in equivariant de Rham theory, similar to that proved by P.-E. Paradan. The last section contains a definition and computation of…

Witten's observables of topological Yang-Mills theory, defined as classes of an equivariant cohomology, are reobtained as the BRST cohomology classes of a superspace version of the theory.

We consider a pair of noncommutative lumps in the noncommutative Yang--Mills/M(atrix) model. In the case when the lumps are separated by a finite distance their ``polarisations'' do not belong to orthogonal subspaces of the Hilbert space.…

Let M be a manifold with Grassmann structure, i.e. with an isomorphism of the cotangent bundle T^*M\cong E\otimes H with the tensor product of two vector bundles E and H. We define the notion of a half-flat connection \nabla^W in a vector…

For semisimple groups, possibly multiplied by U(1)'s, the number of Yang-Mills gauge fields is equal to the number of generators of the group. In this paper, it is shown that, for non-semisimple groups, the number of Yang-Mills fields can…

The 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory with the Pontryagin term included is studied on manifolds with a boundary. Based on the geometry of the universal bundle for Yang-Mills theory, the symplectic structure of this model is exhibited. The…

Covariant anomalies are studied in terms of the theory of secondary characteristic classes of the universal bundle of Yang-Mills theory. A new set of descent equations is derived which contains the covariant current anomaly and the…

We consider Kaehler quantized models whose underlying classical phase space has a stratified structure induced from the Hamiltonian action of a compact Lie group. We show how to implement the classical stratification on the level of the…

Recently, a non-hyperelliptic curve describing the Coulomb branch of N=2 SUSY $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory with an antisymmetric tensor matter was proposed using a configuration of a single M theory five-brane. We study the singular surface…
