We perform a detailed computation of key quantities across the first-order deconfinement phase transition of the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. Specifically, we calculate the entropy density, $s(T_c)/T_c^3$, on both sides of the transition and…
We study the deformation theory of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system on a principal bundle with a compact structure group over a compact manifold. We first construct, as an application of the general slice theorem of Diez and Rudolph, a smooth…

Yang-Mills theories are an important building block of the standard model and in particular of quantum chromodynamics. Its correlation functions describe the behavior of its elementary particles, the gauge bosons. In quantum chromodynamics,…
We present a data-driven method for holographic bulk reconstruction that works even when the spacetime is not asymptotically AdS. Given the data of boundary Green functions within a finite frequency window, we iteratively adjust a bulk…
We report on our continued efforts to measure the glueball and meson spectra in SU($N$) Yang-Mills theory and QCD with the aim of extrapolating to the large-$N$ limit. In particular, we document the computation of the low-lying SU($6$)…
These lectures contain an introduction to instantons, calorons and dyons of the Yang--Mills gauge theory. Since we are interested in the mechanism of confinement and of the deconfinement phase transition at some critical temperature, the…
Employing the nonabelian duality transformation, I derive the Gauge String form of certain D>=3 lattice Yang-Mills (YM_{D}) theories in the strong coupling (SC) phase. With the judicious choice of the actions, in D>=3 our construction…

General scaling arguments, and the behavior of the thermal entropy density, are shown to lead to an infrared metric holographically representing a compressible state with hidden Fermi surfaces. This metric is characterized by a general…
We revisit the machine-learning (ML) approach to the universal density functional $F[\mathbf{n}]$ of the one-dimensional Hubbard model with a site-dependent random potential $\mathbf{v}=\{v_{i}\}$. We generate exact ground-state data via…
We establish a new non-minimal Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton model, for which the Lagrangian is linear in the curvature and contains eight arbitrary functions of the scalar (dilaton) field. The self-consistent system of equations for the…
Glueballs are bound states in the spectrum of quantum chromodynamics which consist only of gluons. They belong to the group of exotic hadrons which are widely studied experimentally and theoretically. We summarize how to calculate glueballs…
By making use of the background field method, we derive a novel reformulation of the Yang-Mills theory which was proposed recently by the author to derive quark confinement in QCD. This reformulation identifies the Yang-Mills theory with a…
We compute the finite temperature ghost and gluon propagators of Yang-Mills theory in the Landau-DeWitt gauge. The background field that enters the definition of the latter is intimately related with the (gauge-invariant) Polyakov loop and…
The complexity of "top-down" string-dual candidates for strongly-coupled Yang-Mills theories and in particular for QCD almost always prohibits their exact analytical or even comprehensive numerical treatment. This impedes both a thorough…
We calculate a renormalized Hamiltonian for pure-glue QCD and diagonalize it. The renormalization procedure is designed to produce a Hamiltonian that will yield physical states that rapidly converge in an expansion in free-particle…
Yang-Mills-Higgs theory offers a rich set of physics. In particular, in some region of its parameter space it has QCD-like behavior, while in some other range it is Higgs-like. Furthermore, for the choice of the gauge group SU(2) and an…
Many of the exciting features of the Standard Model of the elementary particles are inherently non-perturbative. A theoretical understanding of many physics aspects beyond the Standard Model of elementary particles also requires a…
