The Yang-Mills functional integral is studied in an axial variant of 't Hooft's maximal Abelian gauge. In this gauge Gau\ss ' law can be completely resolved resulting in a description in terms of unconstrained variables. Compared to…
The problem of Wu-Yang ambiguities in 3 dimensions is related to the problem of existence of torsion free driebeins for an arbitrary potential. The ambiguity is only at the level of boundary conditions. We also find that in 3 dimensions any…
The renormalization procedure for the Yang-Mills theory in the gauge free of the Gribov ambiguity is constructed. It is shown that all the ultraviolet infinities may be removed by renormalization of the parameters entering the classical…
The classical action for pure Yang--Mills gauge theory can be formulated as a deformation of the topological $BF$ theory where, beside the two-form field $B$, one has to add one extra-field $\eta$ given by a one-form which transforms as the…

The topological properties of field configurations in gauge theory contain important data about the (generalized) global symmetries of the theory as well as potential inconsistencies in the form of gauge anomalies. In this work we modify…
We consider a spherically symmetric, static system of a Dirac particle interacting with classical gravity and an SU(2) Yang-Mills field. The corresponding Einstein-Dirac-Yang/Mills equations are derived. Using numerical methods, we find…
A generalization of non-Abelian gauge theories of compact Lie groups is developed by gauging the non-compact group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a $D$-dimensional space R^D. This group is represented on the space of fields defined…
With the help of the Seiberg-Witten map for photons and fermions we define a theta-deformed QED at the classical level. Two possibilities of gauge-fixing are discussed. A possible non-Abelian extension for a pure theta-deformed Yang-Mills…
In p-form lattice gauge theory, the fluctuating variables live on p-dimensional cells and interact around (p+1)-dimensional cells. It has been argued that the continuum version of this model should be described by (p-1)-gerbes. However,…
The regularity of static axially symmetric solutions in SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton theory is examined. We show that the solutions obtained previously within a singular Ansatz for the non-abelian gauge field can be gauge transformed into a…
A particular form of non-linear $\sigma$-model, having a global gauge invariance, is studied. The detailed discussion on current algebra structures reveals the non-abelian nature of the invariance, with {\it{field dependent structure…
We suggest an infinite-dimensional extension of the gauge transformations which includes non-Abelian tensor gauge fields. Extended gauge transformations of non-Abelian tensor gauge fields form a new large group which has natural geometrical…
There exists a small family of analytic SO(4)-invariant but time-dependent SU(2) Yang-Mills solutions in any conformally flat four-dimensional spacetime. These might play a role in early-universe cosmology for stabilizing the symmetric…

In this paper we discuss how the gauge principle can be applied to classical-mechanics models with finite degrees of freedom. The local invariance of a model is understood as its invariance under the action of a matrix Lie group of…
We argue that higher dimensional classical, nonabelian gauge theory may lead to a lower dimensional quantum field theory due to its inherent chaotic dynamics which acts like stohastic quantization. The dimensional reduction is based upon…
