The exact expression for Wilson loop averages winding n times on a closed contour is obtained in two dimensions for pure U(N) Yang-Mills theory and, rather surprisingly, it displays an interesting duality in the exchange $n \leftrightarrow…

The Bethe-Salpeter equation is a non-perturbative, relativistic and covariant description of two-body bound states. We derive the classical Bethe-Salpeter equation for two massive point particles (with or without spin) in a bound…
Bound q\bar q -systems are considered in the framework of three different versions of the 3-dimensional reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, all having the correct one-body limit when one of the constituent quark masses tends to…

Recently, Wilson loops with the shape of a double helix have played an important role in studying large spin operators in gauge theories. They correspond to a quark and an anti-quark moving in circles on an S3 (and therefore each of them…
The amplitude-phase formulation of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation is investigated within the context of uncoupled Ermakov systems, whereby the amplitude function is given by the auxiliary nonlinear equation. The classical limit of the…
We consider rectangular Wilson loops in certain non-equilibrium quantum states in N=4 SYM at weak coupling, prepared with a quantum quench. We find that in the ladder approximation, the Bethe-Salpeter equation can be reduced to solving a…
The Wilson loop in the non-commutative dipole field theory is re-examined within the framework of dual gravity description. In contrast to the previous investigations, we let the dual string be moving along the deformed $S^5$ and find the…
The generalization of the effective action [1] of the quark--antiquark system in the confining vacuum is performed for the case of arbitrary quark masses. The interaction of quarks is described by the averaged Wilson loop for which we use…
We are interested in reaction-diffusion systems, with a conservation law, exhibiting a Hopf bifurcation at the spatial wave number $k = 0$. With the help of a multiple scaling perturbation ansatz a Ginzburg-Landau equation coupled to a…
This note studies the exponential convergence of input-output signals of discrete-time nonlinear systems composed of a feedback interconnection of a linear time-invariant system and a nonlinear uncertainty. Both the open-loop subsystems are…

In this paper, we analyze the long-time behavior of the solution of the initial value problem (IVP) for the short pulse (SP) equation. As the SP equation is a complete integrable system, which posses a Wadati-Konno-Ichikawa (WKI)-type Lax…
The spinless Salpeter equation can be regarded as the eigenvalue equation of a Hamiltonian that involves the relativistic kinetic energy and therefore is, in general, a nonlocal operator. Accordingly, it is hard to find solutions of this…
Recently, an instantaneous approximation to the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for the analysis of bound states in quantum field theory has been proposed which retains, in contrast to the Salpeter equation, as far as possible the exact…
