We construct supersymmetric models of SO(10) unification in which the gauge symmetry is broken by orbifold compactification. We find that using boundary conditions to break the gauge symmetry down to $SU(3)_C \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes U(1)_Y…
A generalisation of existing SU(2) results is obtained. In particular, the source-free Gauss law for SU(3)-valued gauge fields is solved using a non-Abelian analogue of the Poincare lemma. When sources are present, the colour-electric field…
We consider SU(2) gauge potentials over a space with a compactified dimension. A non-Abelian Fourier transform of the gauge potential in the compactified dimension is defined in such a way that the Fourier coefficients are (almost) gauge…
We consider orientifold reductions to N=4 gauged supergravity in four dimensions. A special feature of this theory is that different factors of the gauge group can have relative angles with respect to the electro-magnetic SL(2) symmetry.…
The aim of this paper is twofold: First, to present an examination of the principles underlying gauge field theories. I shall argue that there are two principles directly connected to the two well-known theorems of Emmy Noether concerning…
We show that, for an $SU(2)$ gauge field (the reasoning extends trivially to $SU(N)$), spontaneous symmetry breaking changes the field cohomology. This defines a new field with cohomological properties characteristic of matter fields.…
A possible generalization of the technique of the standard model to $SU(n)\otimes U(1)$ gauge models is proposed. A special Higgs mechanism and a new kind of Yukawa couplings in unitary gauge are introduced. These allow us to obtain a…
We consider a (2+1) dimensional nonlinear O(3) sigma model with its U(1) subgroup gauged along with the inclusion of a self-interaction having symmetry breaking minima.The gauge field dynamics is governed by the Maxwell term.The model is…
$U(n\otimes m)\ast$ gauge field theory on noncommutative spacetime is formulated and the standard-like model with the symmetry ${\text{U}(3_c\otimes 2\otimes 1_{\text{\scriptsize$Y$}})\ast}$ is reconstructed based on it. $\text{U}(n+m)\ast$…
A gauged $SU_q(2)$ theory is characterized by two dual algebras, the first lying close to the Lie algebra of SU(2) while the second introduces new degrees of freedom that may be associated with non-locality or solitonic structure. The first…
We investigate non-commutative gauge theories in homogeneous spaces G/H. We construct such theories by adding cubic terms to IIB matrix model which contain the structure constants of G. The isometry of a homogeneous space, G must be a…
We characterise a class of SU(2) gluonic field configurations in the modified axial gauge where a zero mode component vanishes at some space point but the global Haar measure remains non-zero. The consequence of this is that gluonic…
A Lorentz and gauge symmetry preserving regularization method is discussed in four dimension based on momentum cutoff. We use the conditions of gauge invariance or equivalently the freedom of shift of the loop momentum to define the…
In the framework of the matrix model/gauge theory correspondence, we consider supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with $U(1)^N$ symmetry breaking pattern. Due to the presence of the Veneziano--Yankielowicz effective superpotential, in order to…
We introduce a notion of a non-Abelian loop gauge field defined on points in loop space. For this purpose we first find an infinite-dimensional tensor product representation of the Lie algebra which is particularly suited for fields on loop…
$U(n)$ is a semi-direct product group that is characterized by non-trivial homomorphisms mapping $U(1)$ into the automorphism group of $SU(n)$. For $U(3)$, there are three non-trivial homomorphisms that induce three separate defining…
In their simplest form, metric-like Lagrangians for higher-spin massless fields display constrained gauge symmetries, unless auxiliary fields are introduced or locality is foregone. Specifically, in its standard incarnation, gauge…
We perform an exploratory investigation of how rapidly the physics of SO(2N) gauge theories approaches its N=oo limit. This question has recently become topical because SO(2N) gauge theories are orbifold equivalent to SU(N) gauge theories,…
Simulating lattice gauge theories on quantum computers presents unique challenges that drive the development of novel theoretical frameworks. The orbifold lattice approach offers a scalable method for simulating SU($N$) gauge theories in…
By using the general framework of affine Gaudin models, we construct a new class of integrable sigma models. They are defined on a coset of the direct product of $N$ copies of a Lie group over some diagonal subgroup and they depend on…
