We discuss some of the recent developments of N=1 super Yang-Mills theories in the context of the gauge-string correspondence.
We propose a subvolume method to study the $\theta$ dependence of the free energy density of the four-dimensional SU($N$) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. As an attempt, the method is first applied to SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at…
In this talk we consider the mass-deformed Yang-Mills theory in the covariant gauge which is obtained by just adding a gluon mass term to the Yang-Mills theory with the covariant gauge fixing term and the associated Faddeev-Popov ghost…
We present an overview on nonperturbative thermodynamics in the deconfining phase of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. In a unique effective theory the maximal resolution of trivial-topology fluctuations is constrained by coarse-grained,…
Perturbation theory for non-abelian gauge theories at finite temperature is plagued by infrared divergences which are caused by magnetic soft modes ~g^2T, corresponding to gluon fields of a 3d Yang-Mills theory. While the divergences can be…
Nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems is one of the main targets of quantum simulations. This focus - together with rapid advances in quantum-computing hardware - has driven increasing applications in high-energy physics,…
A summary of results is presented, which provide exact description of the low-energy $4d$ $N=2$ and $N=4$ SUSY gauge theories in terms of $1d$ integrable systems.
There is a close relation between classical supergravity and quantum SYM descriptions of interactions between separated branes. In the case of D3 branes, the equivalence of leading-order potentials is due to non-renormalization of the F^4…
An analytical and inductive approach to hot SU(N) Yang-Mills dynamics is developed. For N=2,3 pressure and energy density are pointwise compared with lattice data.
We continue the study of the low-energy limit of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory compactified on a circle with S-duality and R-symmetry twists that preserve N=6 supersymmetry in 2+1D. We introduce external static supersymmetric quark and…
We consider the (1+1)-dimensional ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ super Yang--Mills theory which is obtained by dimensionally reducing ${\cal N}=1$ super Yang--Mills theory in four dimension to two dimensions. We do our calculations in the large-$N_c$…
We introduce a class of non-invertible topological defects in (3+1)d gauge theories whose fusion rules are the higher-dimensional analogs of those of the Kramers-Wannier defect in the (1+1)d critical Ising model. As in the lower-dimensional…
The relation between four-dimensional $SO(4)$ pure Yang-Mills theory and the gravity is discussed. The functional integral for Yang-Mills theory is rewritten in terms of the gravity metric and Riemann tensors. This relation is shown to also…
We investigate the low-order Green's functions of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge, using a covariant variational principle based on the effective action formalism. Employing an approximation to the Faddeev-Popov determinant…
We consider compactifications of the matrix model of M-theory on $S^1/Z_2\times T^d$ for $d>0$, and interpret them as orbifolds of the supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory on $R\times T^{d+1}$. The orbifold group acts both on the gauge…
We derive the four dimensional N=1/2 super Yang-Mills theory from tree-level computations in RNS open string theory with insertions of closed string Ramond-Ramond vertices. We also study instanton configurations in this gauge theory and…
I consider supergravity solutions of D5 branes wrapped on supersymmetric 2-cycles and use them to discuss relevant features of four-dimensional N=1 super Yang-Mills theories with gauge group SU(N). In particular, using a gravitational dual…
We show that the idea to use the overlap formalism to formulate 4D N=1 super Yang-Mills theory on the lattice without fine-tuning can be applied to 3D N=1 case as well. Another application we propose is a regularization of the IIB matrix…
We present a three dimensional novel massive N=2 super Yang-Mills action as a low energy effective worldvolume description of the D2-branes on a pp-wave. The action contains the Myers term, mass terms for three Higgs, and terms mixing the…
A non-Abelian gauge theory describes the strong interactions among particles with the commutator of generators are non-zero. An $SU(3)$ gauge theory describes the interactions that lead to nuclear forces among particles. The Lagrangian…
