The gauge structure of the four dimensional effective theory (4DET) arising from a pure Yang-Mills theory in five dimensions compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$ is reexamined on the basis of the BRST symmetry. The two scenarios that can…
We consider three dimensional SU(N) N=1 super-Yang-Mills compactified on the space-time R X S^1 X S^1. In particular, we compactify the light-cone coordinate x^- on a light-like circle via DLCQ, and wrap the remaining transverse coordinate…

Quantization of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on a torus in the gauge where the field strength is diagonal leads to twisted sectors that are completely analogous to the ones that originate long string states in Matrix String Theory. If…
A manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is proposed, along with the necessary gauge invariant regularisation which implements the effective cutoff. The latter is naturally incorporated by…

A mathematically rigorous relativistic quantum Yang-Mills theory with an arbitrary semisimple compact gauge Lie group is set up in the Hamiltonian canonical formalism. The theory is non-perturbative, without cut-offs, and agrees with the…
Using the general notions of Batalin, Fradkin, Fradkina and Tyutin to convert second class systems into first class ones, we present a gauge invariant formulation of the massive Yang-Mills theory by embedding it in an extended phase space.…
We study quantum Chern-Simons theory as the large mass limit of the limit $D\to 3$ of dimensionally regularized topologically massive Yang-Mills theory. This approach can also be interpreted as a BRS-invariant hybrid regularization of…
We exhibit the gauge-group independence (``universality'') of all normalized non-intersecting Wilson loop expectation values in the large N limit of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This universality is most easily understood via the…
Previous investigations on the renormalizability properties of Lorentz-violating Yang-Mills (LVYM) theories in the Landau gauge have pointed out the necessity of the inclusion of a mass-like term for the gauge fields. If one aims at…
