The equation of state of SU(3) Yang-Mills theory can be modelled by an effective $Z_3-$symmetric potential $V(\vert\phi\vert,\phi^3+\phi^{3*}, T)$ depending on the temperature $T$ and on a scalar field $\phi$ -- the averaged Polyakov loop.…
A family of fuzzy orbifolds are generated by looking at sub-algebras of the fuzzy sphere. One of them is actually commutative and can be mapped exactly onto a lattice. The others are fuzzy approximations of S^2/Z_N where Z_N is the cyclic…
In the context of a semiclassical approach where vectorial gauge fields can be considered as classical fields, we obtain exact static solutions of the SU(N) Yang-Mills equations in a $(n+1)$ dimensional curved space-time, for the cases $n =…
Many of the exciting features of the Standard Model of the elementary particles are inherently non-perturbative. A theoretical understanding of many physics aspects beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles also requires a…
A class of matrix models which arises as partition function in U(N) Chern-Simons matter theories on three sphere is investigated. Employing the standard technique of the 1/N expansion we solve the system beyond the planar limit. In…
As a perturbative check of the construction of four-dimensional (4D) ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) from mass deformed ${\cal N}=(8,8)$ SYM on the two-dimensional (2D) lattice, the one-loop effective action for scalar…

Several reductions of the bosonic BMN matrix model equations to ordinary point particle Hamiltonian dynamics in the plane (or R^3) are given - as well as a few explicit solutions (some of which, as N->infinity, correspond to membranes…
We consider spinors on the total space of a Kaluza-Klein model with fuzzy sphere fibre and geometrically realised Dirac operator on the product. We show that a single massless spinor on the product appears on spacetime as multiplets of…
We propose a procedure for computing noncommutative corrections to the metric tensor, and apply it to scalar field theory written on coordinate patches of smooth manifolds. The procedure involves finding maps to the noncommutative plane…
We study the maximally supersymmetric plane wave matrix model (the BMN model) at finite temperature, $T$, and locate the high temperature phase boundary in the $(\mu,T)$ plane, where $\mu$ is the mass parameter. We find the first…
We discuss the conditions under which static, finite-energy, configurations of a complex scalar field $\phi$ with constant phase and spherically symmetric norm exist in a potential of the form $V(\phi^*\phi, \phi^N+\phi^{*N})$ 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…
We discuss a two-body interaction of membrane fuzzy spheres in a pp-wave matrix model at finite temperature by considering a fuzzy sphere rotates with a constant radius r around the other one sitting at the origin in the SO(6) symmetric…
The fuzzy-sphere regularisation is a powerful tool to study conformal field theories (CFT) in three spacetime dimensions. In this paper, we extend its scope to CFTs with local fermionic operators. We realise the free-Majorana-fermion CFT on…
A matrix algebra is constructed which consists of the necessary degrees of freedom for a finite approximation to the algebra of functions on the family of orthogonal Grassmannians of real dimension 2N, known as complex quadrics. These…
The standard model (SM) is viewed as a variation on the Yang-Mills theory with gauge symmetry $u(1) \times su(2) \times su(3)$, in which the flavour symmetry is framed and to which 3 generations of quarks and leptons are appended as inputs…
We introduce a covariant finite regulator for N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory on S^4. Our formulation is based on holomorphic Chern-Simons theory on twistor space. By switching on a large background flux, the twistor space dissolves into a…
Review of the papers on the new method of the Yang-Mills field quantization applicable both in perturbation theory and beyond it is presented. It is shown that in the modified formulation of the Yang-Mills theory leading to the formal…
We calculate the exact eigenvalues of the adjoint scalar fields in the massive vacua of N=1* SUSY Yang-Mills with gauge group SU(N). This provides a field theory prediction for the distribution of D3 brane charge in the AdS dual. We verify…
