Fuzzy spheres appear as classical solutions in a matrix model obtained via dimensional reduction of 3-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with the Chern-Simons term. Well-defined perturbative expansion around these solutions can be formulated…
We consider the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric theory of the massive Yang-Mills field formulated in the ${\cal N}=2$ harmonic superspace. The various gauge-invariant forms of writing the mass term in the action (in particular, using the…
It is well known that the MHV action, i.e. the action containing all the maximally helicity violating vertices, is alone not sufficient for loop computations. In order to develop loop contributions systematically and to ensure that there…
We present a family of nonrelativistic Yang-Mills gauge theories in D+1 dimensions whose free-field limit exhibits quantum critical behavior with gapless excitations and dynamical critical exponent z=2. The ground state wavefunction is…
A manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is proposed, along with the necessary gauge invariant regularisation which implements the effective cutoff. The latter is naturally incorporated by…
We consider the Yang-Mills flow on hyperbolic 3-space. The gauge connection is constructed from the frame-field and (not necessarily compatible) spin connection components. The fixed points of this flow include zero Yang-Mills curvature…
We present a non-geometric derivation of $\mathcal{N}$=1 Super Yang-Mills by focusing on the consistency of interactions that extend the free vector supermultiplet rather than assuming gauge invariance under extended symmetries. By…
U(n) Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere S^2_N is quantized using random matrix methods. The gauge theory is formulated as a matrix model for a single Hermitian matrix subject to a constraint, and a potential with two degenerate minima.…
We uplift 5-dimensional super-Yang-Mills theory to a 6-dimensional gauge theory with the help of a space-like constant vector $\eta^M$, whose norm determines the Yang-Mills coupling constant. After the localization of $\eta^M$ the 6D gauge…
This paper aims to clarify conceptual aspects of emergent structure in IKKT-type matrix models. Even without any adjustable parameters in the action, non-trivial matrix vacua do acquire a meaningful coupling constant, as well as two…
Maintaining local interactions in the quantum simulation of gauge field theories relegates most states in the Hilbert space to be unphysical -- theoretically benign, but experimentally difficult to avoid. Reformulations of the gauge fields…
In the low energy domain of four-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory the spin and the charge of the gauge field can become separated from each other. The ensuing field variables describe the interacting dynamics between a version of the…
We discuss a variation of quadratic gravity in which the gravitational interaction remains weakly coupled at all energies, but is assisted by a Yang-Mills gauge theory which becomes strong at the Planck scale. The Yang-Mills interaction is…
A four dimensional generally covariant modified Yang-Mills action, which depends on the lorentzian complex structure of spacetime and not its metric, is presented. The extended Weyl symmetry, implied by the effective metric independence,…
We study the gauge transformation of the recently computed one-loop four-point function of {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N). The contributions from nonplanar diagrams are not gauge invariant. We compute…
It has long argued that confinement in non-Abelian gauge theories, such as QCD, can be account for by analogy with typed II superconductivity. In this paper, we show that it is possible to arrive at an effective dual Abelian-Higgs model,…
The question of a modification of the running gauge coupling of (non-) abelian gauge theories by an incorporation of the quantum gravity contribution has recently attracted considerable interest. In this letter we perform an involved…
The gauge structure of the four dimensional effective theory originated in a pure five dimensional Yang-Mills theory compactified on the orbifold $S^1/Z_2$, is discussed on the basis of the BRST symmetry. If gauge parameters propagate in…
In this paper, I show that a Yang-Mills force with a U(1)$\timesSU(2)\times$SU(2) group symmetry predicts solar system observations of gravitational behavior as well as binary pulsar precession provided that mass is redefined as intrinsic…
