Some time ago the general tree-level scattering amplitudes of N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory were expressed as certain Grassmannian contour integrals. These remarkable formulas allow to clearly expose the super-conformal, dual super-conformal,…
A gauge invariant regularisation which can be used for non-perturbative treatment of Yang-Mills theories within the exact renormalization group approach is constructed. It consists of a spontaneously broken SU(N|N) super-gauge extension of…
We study a 4d gauge theory $U(1)^{N-1}\rtimes S_N$ obtained from a $U(1)^{N-1}$ theory by gauging a 0-form symmetry $S_N$. We show that this theory has a global continuous 2-category symmetry, whose structure is particularly rich for $N>2$.…
The radiative correction to beta function is comprehensively studied at 1 loop in the context of universal extra dimensions. Instead of using cutoffs to regularize 1-loop divergences, the dimensional regularization scheme is used. Large…
In this work we study the cancellation of non-perturbative anomalies of gravitational theories with gauge group $\mathbb{Z}_k$ in six dimensions. These subtle anomalies require a classification of deformation classes of manifolds with…
Gorsky et al. presented an explicit construction of Whitham deformations of the Seiberg-Witten curve for the $SU(N+1)$ $\calN = 2$ SUSY Yang-Mills theory. We extend their result to all classical gauge groups and some other cases such as the…
In this article, we reconsider the formulation of Yangian symmetry for planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, and we investigate to what extent this symmetry lifts to the beta/gamma-deformation of the model. We first apply cohomology…
We construct supersymmetric deformations of general, locally supersymmetric, nonlinear sigma models in three spacetime dimensions, by extending the pure supergravity theory with a Chern-Simons term and gauging a subgroup of the sigma model…
We propose a gauge invariant formulation of the exact renormalization group equation for nonsupersymmetric pure U(N) Yang-Mills theory, based on the construction by Tim Morris. In fact we show that our renormalization group equation amounts…
We examine the restoration of the residual gauge symmetry in the Yang-Mills theory to be regarded as a confinement criterion. For this purpose we restrict the four-dimensional $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills instantons to those with spatial spherical…
We take the manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalisation group previously used to compute the one-loop beta function in SU(N) Yang-Mills without gauge fixing, and generalise it so that it can be renormalised straightforwardly at any…
A residue formula which evaluates any correlation function of topological $SU_n$ Yang-Mills theory with arbitrary magnetic flux insertion in two dimensions are obtained. Deformations of the system by two form operators are investigated in…
We provide N=1 Super Yang-Mills theory in the Wess-Zumino gauge with mass terms for the supersymmetric partners of the gauge fields and of the matter fields, together with a supersymmetric mass term for the fermionic matter fields. All mass…
Quantum Yang-Mills theory and the Wilson loop can be rewritten identically in terms of local gauge-invariant variables being directly related to the metric of the dual space. In this formulation, one reveals a hidden high local symmetry of…
We give a new way of looking at the Cho--Faddeev--Niemi (CFN) decomposition of the Yang-Mills theory to answer how the enlarged local gauge symmetry respected by the CFN variables is restricted to obtain another Yang-Mills theory with the…
The N=(2,2) extended super Yang-Mills theory in 2 dimensions is formulated on the lattice as a dimensional reduction of a 4 dimensional lattice gauge theory. We use the plaquette action for a bosonic sector and the Wilson- or the…
In order to clarify the mechanism of quark confinement in the Yang-Mills theory with mass gap, we propose to investigate the massive Yang-Mills model, namely, Yang-Mills theory with ``a gauge-invariant gluon mass term'', which is to be…
The ${\cal N} = 2^*$ Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions is a non-conformal theory that appears as a mass deformation of maximally supersymmetric ${\cal N} = 4$ Yang-Mills theory. This theory also takes part in the AdS/CFT correspondence…
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 non commutative geometry is a possible framework to regularize Quantum Field Theory in a nonperturbative way. This idea is an extension of the lattice approximation by non commutativity that allows to preserve symmetries. The…
