We propose a lattice formulation of three dimensional super Yang-Mills model with a twisted N=4 supersymmetry. The extended supersymmetry algebra of all the eight supercharges is fully and exactly realized on the lattice with a modified…
The dynamical N=1, SU(2) Super Yang-Mills theory is studied on the lattice using a new lattice fermion regulator, domain wall fermions. This formulation even at non-zero lattice spacing does not require fine-tuning, has improved chiral…
We discuss relation between lattice phenomenology of confining fields in the vacuum state of Yang-Mills theories (mostly SU(2) case) and continuum theories. In the continuum, understanding of the confinement is most straightforward in the…
In this article we study the action of the one loop dilatation operator on operators with a classical dimension of order N. These operators belong to the su(2) sector and are constructed using two complex fields Y and Z. For these operators…
Evanescent operators are a special class of operators that vanish classically in four-dimensional spacetime, while in general dimensions they are non-zero and are expected to have non-trivial physical effects at the quantum loop level in…
We present a lattice formulation for two-dimensional N=(2,2) and (4,4) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories that resolves vacuum degeneracy for gauge fields without imposing admissibility conditions. Cases of U(N) and SU(N) gauge groups are…
The two-dimensional supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with sixteen supercharges at large $N$ and strong 't~Hooft coupling is conjectured to be dual to certain supergravity solutions in the decoupling limit. We discretize the gauge…
An approximate dual representation for non-Abelian lattice gauge theories in terms of a new set of dynamical variables, the plaquette occupation numbers (PONs) that are natural numbers, is discussed. They are the expansion indices of the…
We formulate ${\cal N} = 2^*$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a Euclidean spacetime lattice using the method of topological twisting. The lattice formulation preserves one scalar supersymmetry charge at finite lattice spacing. The…
It has been known for some time that the dynamics of k coincident D-branes in string theory is described effectively by U(k) Yang-Mills theory at low energy. While these configurations appear as classical solutions in matrix models, it was…
We perform an explicit two-loop calculation of the dilatation operator acting on single trace Wilson operators built from holomorphic scalar fields and an arbitrary number of covariant derivatives in N=2 and N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills…
We discover the unique, simple Lie Algebra of the Third Kind, or LATKe, that stems from codimension 6 orbifold singularities and gives rise to a kind of Yang-Mills theory which simultaneously is pure and contains matter. The root space of…
We consider two-dimensional ${\cal N} = (2, 2)$ Yang--Mills theory with gauge group SU($N$) in Euclidean signature compactified on a torus with thermal fermion boundary conditions imposed on one cycle. We perform non-perturbative lattice…
We propose an unconventional formulation of lattice field theories which is quite general, although originally motivated by the quest of exact lattice supersymmetry. Two long standing problems have a solution in this context: 1) Each degree…
Essential to QCD applications of the operator product expansion, etc., is a knowledge of those operators that mix with gauge-invariant operators. A standard theorem asserts that the renormalization matrix is triangular: Gauge-invariant…
Yang-Baxter R operators symmetric with respect to the orthogonal and symplectic algebras are considered in an uniform way. Explicit forms for the spinorial and metaplectic R operators are obtained. L operators, obeying the RLL relation with…
We study a deformation of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory by a dimension-5 vector operator. There is a simple nonlocal "dipole" field-theory that realizes this deformation. We present evidence that this theory is realized in the setting of…
We derive an explicit formula for the vertex amplitude of dual SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions on the lattice, and provide an efficient algorithm (of order j to the fourth power) for its computation. This opens the way for both…
We consider the anomalous dimensions of restricted Schur polynomials constructed using n~O(N) complex adjoint scalars Z and m complex adjoint scalars Y. We fix m<<n so that our operators are almost half BPS. At leading order in m/n this…
As open N=2 or 4 strings describe self-dual N=4 super Yang-Mills in 2+2 dimensions, the corresponding closed (heterotic) strings describe self-dual ungauged (gauged) N=8 supergravity. These theories are conveniently formulated in a chiral…
