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…
We perform the dual transformation of the Yang-Mills theory in d=3 dimensions using the Wilson action on the cubic lattice. The dual lattice is made of tetrahedra triangulating a 3-dimensional curved manifold but embedded into a flat…
A class of $ G $-invariant Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) systems with cosmological constant on homogeneous spaces $ G / H $, where $ G $ is a semisimple compact Lie group, is presented. These EYM--systems can be obtained in terms of dimensional…
We generalize classical Yang-Mills theory by extending nonlinear constitutive equations for Maxwell fields to non-Abelian gauge groups. Such theories may or may not be Lagrangian. We obtain conditions on the constitutive equations…
We use a systematic construction method for invariant connections on homogeneous spaces to find the Einstein-SU(n)-Yang-Mills equations for Friedmann-Robertson-Walker and locally rotationally symmetric homogeneous cosmologies. These…
Topologically twisted $\mathcal{N} = 4$ super Yang-Mills theory has a partition function that counts Euler numbers of instanton moduli spaces. On the manifold $\mathbb{P}^2$ and with gauge group $\mathrm{U}(3)$ this partition function has a…
In the recently proposed generalization of the Yang-Mills theory the group of gauge transformation gets essentially enlarged. This enlargement involves an elegant mixture of the internal and space-time symmetries. The resulting group is an…
In this Letter, we propose a model which is equivalent to the Yang-Mills theory at long distances but for which all symmetries are realized linearly. On top of the gauge and Fadeev-Popov ghosts fields, the model presents several massive…
We reinterpret the Faddeev-Popov gauge-fixing procedure of Yang-Mills theories as the definition of a topological quantum field theory for gauge group elements depending on a background connection. This has the advantage of relating…
We review recent results on the derivation of a global path integral density for Yang-Mills theory. Based on a generalization of the stochastic quantization scheme and its geometrical interpretation we first recall how locally a modified…
We present a class of three-dimensional quantum field theories whose ordinary global symmetries mix with higher-form symmetries to form a continuous 2-group. All these models can be obtained by performing a gauging procedure in a parent…
A general procedure to reveal an Abelian structure of Yang-Mills theories by means of a (nonlocal) change of variables, rather than by gauge fixing, in the space of connections is proposed. The Abelian gauge group is isomorphic to the…
We quantize pure 2d Yang-Mills theory on a torus in the gauge where the field strength is diagonal. Because of the topological obstructions to a global smooth diagonalization, we find string-like states in the spectrum similar to the ones…
The classical Yang--Mills equations are analyzed within the geometrical framework of an effective gravity theory. Exact analytical solutions are derived for the cylindrically symmetric configurations of the coupled gauge and isoscalar…
We determine all Lie groups compatible with the gauge structure of the Standard Elementary Particle Model (SM) and their representations. The groups are specified by congruence equations of quantum numbers. By comparison with the…
A framework for constructing new kinds of gauge theories is suggested. Essentially it consists in replacing Lie algebras by Lie or Courant algebroids. Besides presenting novel topological theories defined in arbitrary spacetime dimensions,…
A generalization of the two-dimensional Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theory is introduced in which the building B-F theory is nonlocal in the auxiliary field. The classical and quantum properties of this nonlocal generalization are…
