It it known that to get the usual Hamiltonian formulation of lattice Yang-Mills theory in the temporal gauge $A_{0}=0$ one should place on every link the cotangent bundle of a Lie group. The cotangent bundle may be considered as a limiting…

In this paper, we prove a convergence theorem for sequences of Einstein Yang-Mills systems on $U(1) $-bundles over closed $n$-manifolds with some bounds for volumes, diameters, $L^{2}$-norms of bundle curvatures and $L^{\frac{n}{2}}$-norms…

In this paper, we study the non-Hermitian Yang-Mills (NHYM for short) bundles over compact K\"ahler manifolds. We show that the existence of harmonic metrics is equivalent to the semisimplicity of NHYM bundles, which confirms the Conjecture…

On a Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ we extend the known analytic results on Yang-Mills connections to the class of connections called $\Omega$-Yang-Mills connections, where $\Omega$ is a smooth, not necessarily closed, $(n-4)$-form.…

The variational methods implemented on a quadratic Yang-Mills type Lagrangian yield two sets of equations interpreted as the field equations and the energy-momentum tensor for the gravitational field. A covariant condition is imposed on the…

We consider two simple criteria for when a physical theory should be said to be "generally covariant", and we argue that these criteria are not met by Yang-Mills theory, even on geometric formulations of that theory. The reason, we show, is…

We study regular, static, spherically symmetric solutions of Yang-Mills theories employing higher order invariants of the field strength coupled to gravity in $d$ dimensions. We consider models with only two such invariants characterised by…

Vortices and coupled vortices arise from Yang-Mills-Higgs theories and can be viewed as generalizations or analogues to Yang-Mills connections and, in particular, Hermitian-Yang-Mills connections. We proved an analytic compactification of…

In this paper, we study the properties of the critical points of Yang-Mills-Higgs functional, which are called Yang-Mills-Higgs pairs. We first consider the properties of weakly stable Yang-Mills-Higgs pairs on a vector bundle over S^n (n >…

We study a second order ordinary differential equation corresponding to rotationally symmetric $p$-harmonic maps. We show unique continuation and Liouville's type theorems for positive solutions. We discuss the existence of bounded positive…

Anomaly matching constrains low-energy physics of strongly-coupled field theories, but it is not useful at finite temperature due to contamination from high-energy states. The known exception is an 't Hooft anomaly involving one-form…
