We explore the low energy dynamics of the four siblings of Lorentz symmetry enriched SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with a theta term at $\theta=\pi$ in $(3+1)$d. Due to a mixed anomaly between time reversal symmetry and the center symmetry, the…
The form of the quantum Yang-Mills action, under a longitudinal rescaling is determined using a Wilsonian renormalization group. The high-energy limit, is the extreme limit of such a rescaling. We compute the anomalous dimensions and…
We define a conformally invariant action S on gauge connections on a closed pseudo-Riemannian manifold M of dimension 6. At leading order this is quadratic in the gauge connection. The Euler-Lagrange equations of S, with respect to…
Lorentzian simplicial quantum gravity is a non-perturbatively defined theory of quantum gravity which predicts a positive cosmological constant. Since the approach is based on a sum over space-time histories, it is perturbatively…
We consider the deformations of a supersymmetric quantum field theory by adding spacetime-dependent terms to the action. We propose to describe the renormalization of such deformations in terms of some cohomological invariants, a class of…
A quadratic Leibniz algebra $(\mathbb{V},[ \cdot, \cdot ],\kappa)$ gives rise to a canonical Yang-Mills type functional $S$ over every space-time manifold. The gauge fields consist of 1-forms $A$ taking values in $\mathbb{V}$ and 2-forms…
We present the world-line quantisation of a system invariant under the symmetries of reciprocal relativity (pseudo-unitary transformations on ``phase space coordinates" $(x^\mu(\tau),p^\mu(\tau))$ which preserve the Minkowski metric and the…
In any quantum theory of gravity, it is of the utmost importance to recover the limit of quantum theory in an external spacetime. In quantum geometrodynamics (quantization of general relativity in the Schr\"odinger picture), this leads in…
A systematic study of the Weyl-type / Yang-Mills-type action possessing local conformal invariance and quadratic curvature is undertaken. The dynamical breaking of this conformal invariance / scale invariance induces general relativity (GR)…
A Lagrange multiplier field can be used to restrict radiative corrections to the Einstein-Hilbert action to one-loop order. This result is employed to show that it is possible to couple a scalar field to the metric (graviton) field in such…
A Yang-Mills theory linear in the scalar curvature for 2d gravity with symmetry generated by the semidirect product formed with the Lie derivative of the algebra of diffeomorphisms with the two-dimensional Abelian algebra is formulated. As…
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…
The thermodynamics of $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in the covariant variational approach is studied by relating the free action density in the background of a non-trivial Polyakov loop to the pressure of the gluon plasma. The correct…
We show that U(1) Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative R^4 can be renormalized at the one-loop level by multiplicative dimensional renormalization of the coupling constant and fields of the theory. We compute the beta function of the theory…
In this work, we study a gauge invariant local non-polynomial composite spinor field in the fundamental representation in order to establish its renormalizability. Similar studies were already done in the case of pure Yang-Mills theories…
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…
Lie algebroid Yang-Mills theories are a generalization of Yang-Mills gauge theories, replacing the structural Lie algebra by a Lie algebroid E. In this note we relax the conditions on the fiber metric of E for gauge invariance of the action…
