Yang Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions can be expressed as an array of coupled (1+1)-dimensional principal chiral sigma models. The $SU(N)\times SU(N)$ principal chiral sigma model in 1+1 dimensions is integrable, asymptotically free and has…
We study the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations in a 6-dimensional space-time. We make a self-consistent static, spherically symmetric ansatz for the gauge fields and the metric. The metric of the manifold associated with the two extra…
It is well known that by using the infinite dimensional symmetries that issue from string theories, one can build 2D geometric field theories. These 2D field theories can be identified with gravitational and gauge anomalies that arise in…
The extended Yang-Mills gauge theory in Euclidean space is a renormalizable (by power counting) gauge theory describing a local interacting theory of scalar, vector, and tensor gauge fields (with maximum spin 2). In this article we study…
Two-dimensional Yang-Mills models in a pseudo-euclidean space are considered from a point of view of a class of nonlinear Klein-Gordon-Fock equations. It is shown that the Nahm reduction does not work, another choice is proposed and…
A complete classification of generalized symmetries of the Yang-Mills equations on Minkowski space with a semi-simple structure group is carried out. It is shown that any generalized symmetry, up to a generalized gauge symmetry, agrees with…
Dimensionally reduced supersymmetric theories retain a great deal of information regarding their higher dimensional origins. In superspace, this "memory" allows us to restore the action governing a reduced theory to that describing its…
We give a complete classification of twists of supersymmetric Yang--Mills theories in dimensions $2\leq n \leq 10$. We formulate supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory classically using the BV formalism, and then we construct an action of the…
Supersymmetry is deeply related to division algebras. Nonabelian Yang-Mills fields minimally coupled to massless spinors are supersymmetric if and only if the dimension of spacetime is 3, 4, 6 or 10. The same is true for the Green-Schwarz…
Geometric quantization of topologically massive and pure Yang- Mills theories is studied in 2+1 dimensions. Analogous to the topologically massive AdS gravity model, both topologically massive Yang-Mills and pure Yang-Mills theories are…
An off-shell formulation for 6 and 10 dimensions simple supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories is presented. While the fermionic fields couple to left action of S^3 and S^7 respectively, the auxiliary ones couple to right action (and vice…

The $N=4$ supersymmetric self-dual Yang-Mills theory in a four- dimensional space with signature $(2,2)$ is formulated in harmonic superspace. The on-shell constraints of the theory are reformulated in the equivalent form of vanishing…
A nonabelian class of massless/massive nonlinear gauge theories of Yang-Mills vector potentials coupled to Freedman-Townsend antisymmetric tensor potentials is constructed in four spacetime dimensions. These theories involve an extended…
We consider a Yang--Mills theory in loop space whose gauge group is a Kac--Moody group with the central extension. From this theory, we derive a local field theory constructed of Yang--Mills fields and abelian antisymmetric and symmetric…
We derive p+1-dimensional (p=1,2) maximally supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory from the wrapped supermembrane on $R^{11-p}\times T^{p}$ in the light-cone gauge by using the matrix regularization. The elements of the matrices in the super…

We introduce the supersymmetric version of YM-like theories with infinitely many spin fields in 4 dimension. The construction is carried out via the superfield method. The surprising feature of these models is that they describe in…
Chern-Simons theory with certain gauge groups is known to be equivalent to a first-order formulation of three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a cosmological constant, where both are purely topological. Here, we extend this correspondence…
