We suggest a new generalization of the $\mathrm{U}(n)$ Yang-Mills theory obtained by relaxing the condition of covariant constancy of the Hermitian form in the fibers, $\nabla_a g_{\alpha\beta'} \ne 0$. This theory is a simpler analogue of…

Sengupta's lower bound for the Yang-Mills action on smooth connections on a bundle over a Riemann surface generalizes to the space of connections whose action is finite. In this larger space the inequality can always be saturated. The…

Gauge symmetries remove unphysical states and guarantee that field theories are free from the pathologies associated with these states. In this work we find a set of general conditions that guarantee the removal of unphysical states in…

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 >…

A classification of gravitating Yang--Mills systems in all dimensions is presented. These systems are set up so that they support finite energy solutions. Both regular and black hole solutions are considered, the former being the limit of…

In this paper, we take into account the Gribov copies present in 3D Yang-MIlls-Higgs theory with a constant vector background whose presence breaks the Lorentz symmetry. The constant vector background is introduced within the non-Abelian…

We study the inverse boundary value problems for the Schr\"{o}dinger equations with Yang-Mills potentials in a bounded domain $\Omega_0\subset\R^n$ containing finite number of smooth obstacles $\Omega_j,1\leq j \leq r$. We prove that the…

We construct new regular solutions in Einstein-Yang-Mills theory. They are static, axially symmetric and asymptotically flat. They are characterized by a pair of integers (k,n), where k is related to the polar angle and $n$ to the azimuthal…

In this article we develop a worldline technique based on the method of images to study the effective action associated to Yang-Mills theories on manifolds with boundaries. We consider the possibility of having either relative or absolute…

We consider the gradient flow of the Yang-Mills-Higgs functional of twist Higgs pairs on a Hermitian vector bundle $(E,H_0)$ over a Riemann surface $X$. It is already known the gradient flow with initial data $(A_0,\phi_0)$ converges to a…

A particular dimensional reduction of SU(2N) Yang--Mills theory on $\Sigma \times S^2$, with $\Sigma$ a Riemann surface, yields an $S(U(N) \times U(N))$ gauge theory on $\Sigma$, with a matrix Higgs field. The SU(2N) self-dual Yang--Mills…

The theory of ideal Yang-Mills fluids (IYMF; a Yang-Mills field coupled to a fluid in the limit of infinite conductivity) is embedded in symmetric hyperbolic form. This yields both causality and well-posedness of initial value problems in…

It is possible to define new, gauge invariant variables in the Hilbert space of Yang-Mills theories which manifestly implement Gauss' law on physical states. These variables have furthermore a geometrical meaning, and allow one to uncover…
