In this work we consider the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with two Dirac fermions in the adjoint representation, in the limit of large $N$. In this limit the infinite-volume physics of this model can be studied by means of the corresponding twisted…
We point out that the dynamical fermion mass generation in the 3D compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with charged fermion and scalar fields (chi-U-phi_3 model) may be of relevance for the spinon-holon theory with local gauge symmetry in the…
We introduce a duality between two-dimensional XY-spin models with symmetry-breaking perturbations and certain four-dimensional SU(2)and SU(2)/Z_2 gauge theories, compactified on a small spatial circle R^(1,2) x S^1, and considered at…
We consider magnetic catalysis in a field-theoretic system of (3+1)-dimensional Dirac fermions with anisotropic kinetic term. By placing the system in a strong external magnetic field, we examine magnetically-induced fermion mass…
There has been substantial progress in understanding confinement in a class of four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories using semiclassical methods. These models have one or more compact directions, and much of the analysis is based on the…
We study a model of four reduced staggered fields transforming in the bifundamental representation of a $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ symmetry group where just one of the SU(2) factors is gauged. This field content and symmetries are similar to a…
We review the recent results in the physics of the magnetic monopoles in gluodynamics and a dual formulation of non-Abelian theories, relevant to the physics of the confinement. It occurs that the dual gluon is a U(1) gauge boson, despite…
The spectra of two-dimensional $su(2)$ gauge theories coupled to a single massless Majorana fermion in integer representations, $J$, are numerically investigated using the Discrete Light-Cone Hamiltonian. One of our aims is to explore the…
Because of the problems arising from the fermion unification in the traditional Grand Unified Theory and the mass hierarchy between the 4-dimensional Planck scale and weak scale, we suggest the low energy gauge unification theory with low…
We study in detail the issue of gauge-fixing in theories with one universal extra dimension, i.e. theories where both bosons and fermions display Kaluza-Klein (KK) excitations. The extra dimension is compactified using the standard orbifold…
It is known that the model based on U(1)$_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ gauge symmetry can explain not only the discrepancy between the measured value of muon $g-2$ and the theoretical prediction, but also the structure of the neutrino mass and mixings.…
We study dynamical gauge symmetry breaking via compactified space in the framework of SU(N) gauge theory in M^{d-1}\times S^1 (d=4,5,6) space-time. In particular, we study in detail the gauge symmetry breaking in SU(2) and SU(3) gauge…
Earlier, two of us and M. Unsal [arXiv:1112.6389] showed that some 4d gauge theories, compactified on a small spatial circle of size L and considered at temperatures 1/beta near deconfinement, are dual to 2d "affine" XY-spin models. We use…
We study discrete fluxes in four dimensional SU(N) gauge theories with a mass gap by using brane compactifications which give ${\cal{N}} = 1$ or ${\cal{N}} = 0$ supersymmetry. We show that when such theories are compactified further on a…
Gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions whose gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken to a finite group enjoy a quantum group symmetry which includes the residual gauge symmetry. This symmetry provides a framework in which fundamental excitations…
In this work we investigate the presence of magnetic monopoles that engender multimagnetic structures, which arise from an appropriate extension of the $\rm{SU(2)}$ gauge group. The investigation is based on a modified relativistic theory…
We study some of the local CP-odd and magnetic properties of the non-Abelian vacuum with use of overlap fermions within the quenched lattice gauge theory. Among these properties are the following: inhomogeneous spatial distribution of the…
A numerical study of low-lying glueball masses of compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions is performed using Standard Path integral Monte Carlo techniques. The masses are extracted, at fixed (low) temperature, from simulations…
We build a gauge model based on the SU(3)_c x SU(4)_L x U(1)_X symmetry where the scalar spectrum needed to generate gauge boson and fermion masses has a smaller scalar content than usually assumed in literature. We compute the running of…
We study the phase diagram of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with fundamental-adjoint Wilson plaquette action. We confirm the presence of a first order bulk phase transition and we estimate the location of its end-point in the bare…
