A Wilson loop is evaluated within the stochastic vacuum model for the case when the respective contour is self-intersecting and its size does not exceed the correlation length of the vacuum. The result has the form of a certain functional…
We consider the propagation of short waves which generate waves of much longer (infinite) wave-length. Model equations of such long wave-short wave resonant interaction, including integrable ones, are well-known and have received much…
The motion on the sphere $S^2$ with the potential $V= (x_1x_2x_3)^{-2/3}$ is considered. The Lax representation and the linearisation procedure for this two-dimensional integrable system are discussed.
We prove that Wilson loop expectation values for arbitrary simple closed contours obey an area law up to second order in perturbative two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. Our analysis occurs within a general family of axial-like gauges, which…
It is widely known that the recursion operator is a very important component of integrability. It allows one to describe in a compact form both hierarchies of the generalized symmetries and infinite series of the local conservation laws. In…
Stability of solitary waves in a thin inextensible and unshearable rod of infinite length is studied. Solitary-wave profile ofthe elastica of such a rod without torsion has the form of a planar loop and its speed depends on a tension in the…
We calculate quantum averages of Wilson loops (holonomies) in gauge theories on the Euclidean noncommutative plane, using a path-integral representation of the star-product. We show how the perturbative expansion emerges from a concise…
In finite-temperature field theory, the cyclic Wilson loop is defined as a rectangular Wilson loop spanning the whole compactified time direction. In a generic non-abelian gauge theory, we calculate the perturbative expansion of the cyclic…

Using an effective field theory approach, we address the effects on the gauge couplings of one and two additional compact dimensions in the presence of a constant background (gauge) field. Such background fields are a generic presence in…
We complete the program of 2012.15792 about perturbative approaches for $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal quiver theories in four dimensions. We consider several classes of observables in presence of Wilson loops, and we evaluate them with the…
An essential aspect of topological phases of matter is the existence of Wilson loop operators that keep the ground state subspace invariant. Here we present and implement an \it unbiased \rm numerical optimization scheme to systematically…
We study the multi-gap topology of the periodic spectra of Wilson loop operators (WLOs) in mirror symmetric insulators. We develop two topological invariants each associated with a mirror-invariant gap in the Wilson loop spectrum. We…
We describe the behaviour of the Wilson loops for wrapped $D5$ systems. We start with the simplest such system possible and then add features to it bit by bit, and show how the Wilson loop is affected by them. This analysis led to the…
We propose and discuss a new approach to the analysis of the correlation functions which contain light-like Wilson lines or loops, the latter being cusped in addition. The objects of interest are therefore the light-like Wilson…
We suggest a direct algorithm for searching the Lax pairs for nonlinear integrable equations. It is effective for both continuous and discrete models. The first operator of the Lax pair corresponding to a given nonlinear equation is found…
The Euler's equations describe the motion of inviscid fluid. In the case of shallow water, when a perturbative asymtotic expansion of the Euler's equations is taken (to a certain order of smallness of the scale parameters), relations to…
Linear systems often involve, as a basic building block, solutions of equations of the form \begin{align*} A_Sx_S&+A_Px_P =0\\ A'_Sx_S & =0, \end{align*} where our primary interest might be in the vector variable $x_P.$ Usually, neither…
In a quantum theory of gravity the gravitational Wilson loop, defined as a suitable quantum average of a parallel transport operator around a large near-planar loop, provides important information about the large-scale curvature properties…
In this investigation we revisit the question of the linear stability analysis of 2D steady Euler flows characterized by the presence of compact regions with constant vorticity embedded in a potential flow. We give a complete derivation of…
