We discuss the quantum equivalence, to all orders of perturbation theory, between the Yang-Mills theory and its first order formulation through a second rank antisymmetric tensor field. Moreover, the introduction of an additional…
The equations for Yang-Mills field in a medium are derived in a linear approximation with respect to the gauge coupling parameter and the external field. The obtained equations closely resemble the macroscopic Maxwell equations. A canonical…
We study Yang-Mills lattice theories with $Sp(N_c)$ gauge group, with $N_c=2N$, for $N=1,\,\cdots,\,4$. We show that if we divide the renormalised couplings appearing in the Wilson flow by the quadratic Casimir $C_2(F)$ of the $Sp(N_c)$…
I analyze cutoff effects of the gradient flow for Wilson-type fermions. I show that with a proper choice of the higher dimensional fields in the Symanzik effective theory, O($a$) improvement of the action is achieved changing the initial…

Theories with fermions in the adjoint representation have several interesting applications in extensions of the standard model. The conformal window for these theories is of particular interest for technicolour extensions. We present here…

We consider a parabolic-like systems of differential equations involving geometrical quantities to examine uniformization theorems for two- and three-dimensional closed orientable manifolds. We find that in the two-dimensional case there is…
We use the Yang-Mills gradient flow to study the mixing of CP-violating pure gauge operators in continuum QCD with special attention to Weinberg's d=6 purely gluonic operator. The gradient flow allows for a relatively clear derivation of…
Recently, the connections between gradient flow and renormalization group have been explored analytically and numerically. Gradient flow (when modified by a field rescaling) can be characterized as a continuous blocking transformation. In…
We propose a unifying approach that starts from the perturbative construction of trivializing maps by L\"uscher and then improves on it by learning. The resulting continuous normalizing flow model can be implemented using common tools of…
I give an elementary introduction to the study of gauge theories coupled to fermions with many degrees of freedom. Besides their intrinsic interest, these theories are candidates for nonperturbative extensions of the Higgs sector of the…
We construct an RG potential for N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, and extract a positive definite metric by comparing its gradient with the recently discovered beta-function for this system, thus proving that the RG flow is…
Real-time anomalous fermion number violation is investigated for massless chiral fermions in spherically symmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge field backgrounds which can be weakly dissipative or even nondissipative. Restricting consideration to…
We study the regularization and renormalization of the Yang-Mills theory in the framework of the manifestly invariant formalism, which consists of a higher covariant derivative with an infinitely many Pauli-Villars fields. Unphysical…
We consider a formulation of Yang-Mills theory where the gauge field is valued on an octonionic algebra and the gauge transformation is the group of automorphisms of it. We show, under mild assumptions, that the only possible gauge…
