We introduce a self-dual field strength which replaces the gauge field in spontaneously broken Yang-Mills theory, reformulating it as a Lorentz covariant non-linear sigma model. This dualized theory is in both a unitary and renormalizable…
A Yang-Mills type gauge theory of gravity is shown to have a structure richer than that of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. By elevating the full connections to independent dynamical gauge fields, the theory admits non-trivial…
We determine the most general form of the interaction between the gravitational field and an arbitrary Yang-Mills system of fields (massless and massive). We work in the perturbative quantum framework of the causal approach (of Epstein and…
${\cal N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory is a highly constrained theory, and therefore a valuable tool to test the understanding of less constrained Yang-Mills theories. Our aim is to use it to test our understanding of both the Landau gauge…
Exact solutions of classical gauge theories in even-dimensional (D=2n) spacetimes are discussed. Common and specific properties of these solutions are analyzed for the particular dimensions D=2, D=4, and D=6. A consistent formulation of…
The local symmetry transformations of the quantum effective action for general gauge theory are found. Additional symmetries arise under consideration of background gauges. Together with "trivial" gauge transformations, vanishing on mass…
We generalize the gradient flow equation for field theories with nonlinearly realized symmetry. Applying the formalism to super Yang-Mills theory, we construct a supersymmetric extension of the gradient flow equation. It can be shown that…
We obtain static gauge field configurations for SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge theory in the absence of chromo-magnetic field. We also present a systematic way to obtain such configurations for SU(3) and SU(4) YM gauge theories by realizing their…
We construct super Yang-Mills theories with ${\cal N}=2, 4$ supersymmetries on the two-dimensional square lattice keeping one or two supercharges exactly. Along the same line as the previous paper \cite{sugino}, the construction is based on…
Some exact static solutions of the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs theory are presented. These solutions satisfy the first order Bogomol'nyi equations, and possess infinite energies. They are axially symmetric and could possibly represent monopoles…
A new formulation of the Yang-Mills theory which allows a manifestly covariant gauge fixing accompanied by a gauge invariant ghost field interaction is proposed. The gauge condition selects a unique representative in the class of gauge…
One of the main open problems of mathematical physics is to consistently quantize Yang-Mills gauge theory. If such a consistent quantization were to exist, it is reasonable to expect a ``Wightman reconstruction theorem,'' by which a Hilbert…
The black hole physics techniques and results are applied to find the set of the exact solutions of the SU(3)-Yang-Mills equations in Minkowski spacetime in the Lorentz gauge. All the solutions contain only the Coulomb-like or linear in $r$…
In this paper we compute classical Minkowsky spacetime solutions of pure SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories, in Landau gauge. The solutions are regular everywhere except at the origin and/or infinity, are characterized by a four momentum $k$…
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…
he Wu-Yang monopole for pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is revisited. New classical solutions with finite energy are found for a generalized Wu-Yang configuration. Our method relies on known asymptotic series solutions and explores the…
Using analyticity of the vacuum wave-functional under complex scalings, the vacuum of a quantum field theory may be reconstructed from a derivative expansion valid for slowly varying fields. This enables the eigenvalue problem for the…

In the framework of Einstein-Yang-Mills theories, we study the gauge Lorentz group and establish a particular correspondence between this case and a certain class of theories with torsion within Riemann-Cartan space-times. This relation is…
We study the Yang-Mills theory and quantum gravity at finite temperature, in the presence of Lagrange multiplier fields. These restrict the path integrals to field configurations which obey the classical equations of motion. This has the…
