In Yang-Mills theory on a Euclidean Cauchy surface, the physical gauge group is often taken to be $\mathcal{G}^I/\mathcal{G}^\infty_0$, where $\mathcal{G}^I$ consists of boundary-preserving gauge transformations asymptoting to a constant,…
We explore maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with walls of impurities respecting half of the supersymmetries. The walls carry fundamental or bifundamental matter multiplets. We employ three-dimensional N=2 superspace language to…
We investigate non-linear generalization of Maxwell theory of electromagnetic field keeping the gauge invariance of Lagrangian. New theory, which is standard Yang-Mills theory, is based on Harmonic Oscillator HO(4,R) gauge group. It's a…
A hidden gauge theory structure of quantum mechanics which is invisible in its conventional formulation is uncovered. Quantum mechanics is shown to be equivalent to a certain Yang-Mills theory with an infinite-dimensional gauge group and a…
We apply numerical and analytic techniques to the study of Yang-Mills integrals with orthogonal, symplectic and exceptional gauge symmetries. The main focus is on the supersymmetric integrals, which correspond essentially to the bulk part…
The theory of general relativity is reformed to a genuine Yang-Mills gauge theory of the Poincar\'e group for gravity. Several pathologies of the conventional theory are thus removed, but not every GR vacuum satisfies the Y-M equations. The…
Recently, gauge field theory approaches were extensively used in order to discuss the physical consequences of spin-orbit interactions in condensed matter physics. An SU(2)$\times$U(1) gauge theory is very naturally borne out and provides…
For semisimple groups, possibly multiplied by U(1)'s, the number of Yang-Mills gauge fields is equal to the number of generators of the group. In this paper, it is shown that, for non-semisimple groups, the number of Yang-Mills fields can…
To verify the conjecture that Yang-Mills theory in the infrared limit is equivalent to a spin system whose excitations are knot solitons, a numerical algorithm based on the inverse Monte Carlo method is proposed. To investigate the…
We study a model of quantum Yang-Mills theory with a finite number of gauge invariant degrees of freedom. The gauge field has only a finite number of degrees of freedom since we assume that space-time is a two dimensional cylinder. We…
An explicit realization of 't Hooft's loop operator in continuum Yang-Mills theory is given.
QCD can be formulated using any gauge group. One particular interesting choice is to replace SU(3) by the exceptional group G2. Conceptually, this group is the simplest group with a trivial center. It thus permits to study the conjectured…
A gauge invariant infrared regularization of the Yang-Mills theory applicable beyond perturbation theory is constructed.
In this paper, we present a non-geometrodynamic quantum Yang-Mills theory of gravity based on the homogeneous Lorentz group within the general framework of the Poincare gauge theories. The obstacles of this treatment are that first, on the…
I articulate and discuss a geometrical interpretation of Yang-Mills theory. Analogies and disanalogies between Yang-Mills theory and general relativity are also considered.
The homotopy Lie or $L_{\infty}$ algebra encoding Yang-Mills theory is the tensor product of a color Lie algebra with the kinematic $C_{\infty}$ algebra. We derive this $C_{\infty}$ algebra, via homotopy transfer, from a strict operator…
A gauge system is a classical field theory where among the fields there are connections in a principal G-bundle over the space-time manifold and the classical action is either invariant or transforms appropriately with respect to the action…
Starting with the most general four-dimensional spacetime possessing two commuting Killing vectors and a nontrivial Killing tensor, we analytically integrate Einstein-Yang-Mills equations for a completely arbitrary gauge group. It is…
In a superspace formulation of Yang-Mills theory previously proposed, we show how gauge-invariant operators and scalars can be incorporated keeping intact the (broken) $Osp(3,1|2)$ symmetry of the superspace action. We show in both cases,…
It it known that to get the usual Hamiltonian formulation of lattice Yang-Mills theory in the temporal gauge $A_{0}=0$ one should place on every link the cotangent bundle of a Lie group. The cotangent bundle may be considered as a limiting…
