We investigate the G/G gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a Riemann surface from the point of view of the algebraic Bethe Ansatz for the phase model. After localization procedure is applied to the G/G gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model, the…
In this work, based on the Petrov-Diakonov representation of the Wilson loop average W in the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, together with the Cho-Fadeev-Niemi decomposition, we present a natural framework to discuss possible ideas underlying…
Classical ${\cal N}=4$ Yang-Mills theory is defined by the superspace constraints. We obtain a solution of a subset of these constraints and show that it leads to the maximally helicity violating (MHV) amplitudes. The action which leads to…

Gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten theory for compact groups is considered. It is shown that this theory has fermionic BRST-like symmetry and may be exactly solved using localization approach. As an example we calculate functional integral for the…
An enhanced Leibniz algebra is an algebraic struture that arises in the context of particular higher gauge theories describing self-interacting gerbes. It consists of a Leibniz algebra $(\mathbb{V},[ \cdot, \cdot ])$, a bilinear form on…

A representation of the perturbation series of a general functional measure is given in terms of generalized Feynman graphs and -rules. The graphical calculus is applied to certain functional measures of L\'evy type. A graphical notion of…
We present a new parametrisation of the space of solutions of the Wess-Zumino-Witten model on a cylinder, with target space a compact, connected Lie group G. Using the covariant canonical approach the phase space of the theory is shown to…
We investigate the boundedness of Fourier multipliers on a compact Lie group when acting on Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. Criteria are given in terms of the H\"ormander-Mihlin-Marcinkiewicz condition. In our analysis, we use the difference…
We explain how multiplicative bundle gerbes over a compact, connected and simple Lie group $G$ lead to a certain fusion category of equivariant bundle gerbe modules given by pre-quantizable Hamiltonian $LG$-manifolds arising from…
In this paper we discuss a universal integrable model, given by a sum of two Wess-Zumino-Witten-Novikov (WZWN) actions, corresponding to two different orbits of the coadjoint action of a loop group on its dual, and the Polyakov-Weigmann…
After the work of Seiberg and Witten, it has been seen that the dynamics of N=2 Yang-Mills theory is governed by a Riemann surface $\Sigma$. In particular, the integral of a special differential $\lambda_{SW}$ over (a subset of) the periods…
We find an unexpected iterative structure within the two-loop five-gluon amplitude in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Specifically, we show that a subset of diagrams contributing to the full amplitude, including a two-loop…
An Abelian gerbe is constructed over classical phase space. The 2-cocycles defining the gerbe are given by Feynman path integrals whose integrands contain the exponential of the Poincare-Cartan form. The U(1) gauge group on the gerbe has a…
We show that the generating function for the higher Weil-Petersson volumes of the moduli spaces of stable curves with marked points can be obtained from Witten's free energy by a change of variables given by Schur polynomials. Since this…
Multi-channel phase space with a single Feynman diagram enhancement is a powerful tool for high-energy physics event generation if a diagram with a singular propagator dominates the total scattering amplitude at the corresponding singular…
The Chern-Simons membranes and in general the Chern-Simons p-branes moving in $D$-dimensional target space admit an infinite set of secondary constraints. With respect to the Poisson bracket these constraints form a closed algebra which…
We shall give an axiomatic construction of Wess-Zumino-Witten actions valued in (G=SU(N)), (N\geq 3). It is realized as a functor ({WZ}) from the category of conformally flat four-dimensional manifolds to the category of line bundles with…
We investigate the gauging of the Wess-Zumino term of a sigma model with boundary. We derive a set of obstructions to gauging and we interpret them as the conditions for the Wess-Zumino term to extend to a closed form in a suitable…
