We continue the investigation from a previous paper concerning the super-renormalizablity of gauge models going to the third order of the perturbation theory. Here we consider only the Yang-Mills case and we prove that this property is true…
A new set of gauge invariant variables is defined to describe the physical Hilbert space of $d = 3 + 1$ $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in the fixed-time canonical formalism. A natural geometric interpretation arises due to the $GL(3)$ covariance…
For small values of the gauge coupling constant, we compare the densities of the energy of the vacuum and of the order parameter, evaluated in the lattice Monte Carlo simulation and in the perturbative field theory at two loop (Minkowski).…
We consider some typical gauge models in the causal approach: Yang-Mills and pure massless gravity up to the second order of the perturbation theory. We prove that the loop contributions are coboundaries, up to super-renormalizable terms in…
We evaluate the thermodynamic quantities of Yang-Mills theory using the Gribov quantization, which deals with nonperturbative resummation. The magnetic scale is automatically incorporated into the framework and we find it efficient to…

In this thesis quantum gauge theories are considered in the framework of local, causal perturbation theory. Gauge invariance is described in terms of the BRS formalism. Local interacting field operators are constructed perturbatively and…
We review some recent results on the calculation of renormalization constants in Yang-Mills theory using open bosonic strings. The technology of string amplitudes, supplemented with an appropriate continuation off the mass shell, can be…
We examine the renormalization of the first order formulation of Yang-Mills theory, by using the BRST idenities. These preserve the gauge invariance of the theory and enable a recursive proof of renormalizability to higher orders in…
We construct the gauge-invariant electric and magnetic charges in Yang-Mills theory coupled to cosmological General Relativity (or any other geometric gravity), extending the flat spacetime construction of Abbott and Deser. For…
The (perturbative) renormalization properties of the BF formulation of Yang-Mills gauge models are shown to be identical to those of the usual, second order formulation. This result holds in any number of spacetime dimensions and is a…
We discuss the perturbative running Yang-Mills coupling constant in the Wilsonian exact renormalization group approach, and compare it to the running coupling in the more conventional MS-bar scheme. The exact renormalization group approach…

We study the perturbative unitarity of non-commutative quantum Yang-Mills theories, extending previous investigations on scalar field theories to the gauge case where non-locality mingles with the presence of unphysical states. We…
