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 a gauge theory at nonzero temperature the eigenvalues of the Wilson line form a set of gauge invariant observables. By constructing the corresponding partition function for the phases of these eigenvalues, we prove that the trivial…
Gravitational theories do not admit gauge invariant local operators. We study the limits under which there exists a quasi-local description for a class of non-local gravitational observables where a sum over worldlines plays the role of the…

The worldline method is a powerful numerical path-integral framework for computing Casimir and Casimir-Polder energies. An important challenge arises when one desires derivatives of path-integral quantities--standard finite-difference…

A completely new strategy to calculate parton distribution functions on the lattice has recently been proposed. In this method, lattice calculable observables, called quasi distributions, are related to normal distributions. The quasi…
In supersymmetric theories, one can obtain striking results and insights by exploiting the fact that the superpotential and the gauge coupling function are holomorphic functions of the model parameters. The precise meaning of this…
We discuss a new approach to strong coupling expansion and dual representations for non-abelian lattice gauge theories. The Wilson gauge action is decomposed into a sum over "abelian color cycles" (ACC), which are loops around plaquettes…
We present non-perturbative results for U(1) gauge theory in spaces, which include a non-commutative plane. In contrast to the commutative space, such gauge theories involve a Yang-Mills term, and the Wilson loop is complex on the…
A recently proposed connection between closed string field and an open Wilson line defined on an arbitrary contour is further explored here. We suggest that reparametrization invariance of a Wilson line is the principle which determines the…
