We apply to the case of gauge group G = SU(2) in three dimensions a recently proposed gauge-independent mechanism for confinement that is based on a particular form of the dual spin foam framework for lattice gauge theory. Explicit formulae…
We present a fermion model characterized by an anticommuting-parameter shift symmetry. The Hamiltonian formulation exhibits a combination of first-class and second-class constraints. We derive the well-known Dirac equation by fixing the…
We introduce a simple scenario where, by starting with a five-dimensional SU(3) gauge theory, we end up with several 4-D parallel branes with localized fermions and gauge fields. Similar to the split fermion scenario, the confinement of…
We provide a simultaneous derivation of the Dirac bracket and of the equations of motion for second-class constrained systems when the constraints are time-dependent. The necessity of time-dependent gauge-fixing conditions is shown in the…
In this letter we consider models with N U(1) gauge fields together with N Kalb-Ramond fields in the large N limit. These models can be solved explicitely and exhibit confinement for a large class of bare actions. The confining phase is…

We consider a distributed Lagrange multiplier formulation for fluid-structure interaction problems in the spirit of the fictitious domain approach. This is an unfitted method, which does not require the construction of meshes conforming to…
Remarkably we find that for a ring with linear boundary conditions such that the eigenvector and its derivative are continuous, there does not seem to be a way for the well-known de Broglie relation to be gauge invariant. Certain nonlinear…
The boundary conditions on multiply connected extra dimensions play major rolls in gauge-Higgs unification theory. Different boundary conditions, having been given in ad hoc manner so far, lead to different theories. To solve this…
The thesis is devoted to the problem of colour confinement in the non-Abelian Yang-Mills theory (gluon part of Quantum Chromodynamics). A generalisation of the 3-dimensional Fock-Schwinger gauge is proposed where the Gauss law constraint is…
In $SU(N)$ gauge theories without dynamical quarks, we discuss how configurations with fractional topological charge, $\sim 1/N$, can arise in the vacuum and dominate in the confining phase. They are not solutions of the classical equations…
We investigate the quantization of pure U(1) and U(2) gauge theories in the vicinity of non-trivial ground state in four-dimensional Euclidean space-time. The main goal is to make the simultaneous consideration of many vacuums possible. It…
A simple analytical solution is found to the Dirac equation for the combination of a Coulomb potential with a linear confining potential. An appropriate linear combination of Lorentz scalar and vector linear potentials, with the scalar part…
Confinement of dynamical fields can be attributed to the absence of corresponding asymptotic states. Thermodynamical properties of such system are more appropriately formulated in terms of collective excitations of these fields, if they…
We consider the motion of test particles in a thick brane version of Randall-Sundrum type II model. It is known that gravity alone cannot explain the confinement of test particles in this kind of brane. In this paper we show that a stable…
The fermionic part of the Schr\"odinger functional of QCD is formulated in the lattice regularization with the staggered fermion. The boundary condition imposed on the staggered fermion field are examined in terms of the four-component…
We consider the space-time variation of gauge couplings in brane-world models induced by the coupling to a bulk scalar field. A variation is generated by the running of the gauge couplings with energy and a conformal anomaly while going…
Relying on the hyperboloidal foliation method, we establish the nonlinear stability of the ground state of the $U(1)$ standard model of electroweak interactions. This amounts to establishing a global-in-time theory for the initial value…
