An analysis of the temperature dependence of the leading contributions to the gluon condensate for SU(N) lattice gauge theory is presented using the data from recent Monte Carlo simulations. The gluon condensate is calculated directly from…
We present a new perspective on the nature of quark and gluon condensates in quantum chromodynamics. We suggest that the spatial support of QCD condensates is restricted to the interiors of hadrons, since these condensates arise due to the…
I review the growing theoretical indications that at high densities color SU(3) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by the formation of a quark pair condensate. This leads to a rich phase structure for QCD as a function of temperature…
We investigate properties of the invariant measure for the $A_0$ gauge field in finite temperature gauge theories both on the lattice and in the continuum theory. We have found the cancellation of the naive measure in both cases. The result…
We calculate gaugino and meson condensates in N=1 SQCD theory with SU(N_c) gauge group and N_f < 2N_c matter flavours, by deforming the pure N=2 Super-Yang-Mills plus fundamental matter action with a mass term for the adjoint scalar…
We study the vacuum condensate characterizing many physical phenomena. We show that such a condensate may leads to non-trivial components of the dark energy and of the dark matter and may induces the spontaneous supersymmetry breaking, in a…
Supersymmetry breaking may be linked to the formation of gaugino condensates in a hidden sector. In this work, the process of formation of the condensate is examined in a cosmological context, using an effective field theory of the gaugino…

In a lattice formulation of SU(2)-gluodynamics, the spontaneous generation of chromomagnetic fields at high temperature is investigated. A procedure to determine this phenomenon is developed. By means of the $\chi^2$-analysis of the data…
We discuss phenomenology of the vacuum condensate <(A_\mu)^2> in pure gauge theories, where A_\mu is the gauge potential. Both Abelian and non-Abelian cases are considered. In case of the compact U(1) the non-perturbative part of the…

The continuum limit of SU(2) lattice gauge theory is carefully investigated at zero and at finite temperatures. It is found that the continuum gauge field has singularities originating from center degrees of freedom being discovered in…
It is proposed that the cooling of a thermalized SU($N$) gauge theory can be formulated in terms of a cascade involving three effective theories with successively reduced (and spontaneously broken) gauge symmetries, SU($N$) $\to$…
In SU(2) gluodynamics, the Debye gluon contribution W_D(A_0) to the effective action of the temporal gauge field component, A_0 = const, at high temperature is calculated in the background R^{xi} gauge. It is shown that at nonzero A_0 the…
After a short description of the currents coming from the known conservation laws in classical physics, we look at some further cases which arise after quantization in relation to quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature. In these…
Phenomenological evidence and analytic approximations to the QCD ground state suggest a complex gluon condensate structure. Exclusion of elementary fermion excitations by the generation of infinite mass corrections is a consequence. In…
One can define generalized models of gaugino condensation as theories which dynamically break a discrete R-symmetry, but do not break supersymmetry. We consider general examples consisting of gauge and matter fields, and the minimal number…
