We discuss recent results on two-point functions of chiral primary operators in {\cal N}=4 SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Our results give further support to the belief that such correlators are not renormalized to all orders in g…
The NSVZ $\beta$ functions in two-dimensional $\mathcal N=(0,2)$ supersymmetric models are revisited. We construct and discuss a broad class of such models using the gauge formulation. All of them represent direct analogs of…
We show how to consistently renormalize $\mathcal{N} = 1$ and $\mathcal{N} = 2$ super-Yang-Mills theories in flat space with a local (i.e. space-time-dependent) renormalization scale in a holomorphic scheme. The action gets enhanced by a…
This is a sequel of our paper hep-th/0606125 in which we have studied the {\cal N}=1 SU(N) SYM theory obtained as a marginal deformation of the {\cal N}=4 theory, with a complex deformation parameter \beta and in the planar limit. There we…
Within the framework of the Exact Renormalization Group, a manifestly gauge invariant calculus is constructed for SU(N) Yang-Mills. The methodology is comprehensively illustrated with a proof, to all orders in perturbation theory, that the…
We show that $N=2$ and $N=4$ extended supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in four space-time dimensions could be derived as action functionals for non-commutative spaces. The coupling of $N=1$ and $N=2$ super Yang-Mills to $N=1$ and $N=2$…
We present a construction kit for calculating two-loop beta functions in N=1 supersymmetric theories for the operators of the superpotential using supergraph techniques. In particular, it allows to compute the beta functions for every…
In this article we establish the notion of classical Yangian symmetry for planar N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and for related planar gauge theories. After revisiting Yangian invariance for the equations of motion, we describe how…
$\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with algebra $\mathfrak{so}(4N)$ and appropriate choices of global structure can have non-invertible symmetries. We identify the branes holographically dual to the non-invertible…
We re-examine perturbative and nonperturbative aspects of the beta function in N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric gauge theories, make comments on the recent literature on the subject and discuss the exactness of several known results such as the…
We prove the perturbative renormalisability of pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the abelian gauge supplemented with mass terms. Whereas mass terms for the gauge fields charged under the diagonal U(1) allow to preserve the standard form of…
We study the U(N) non-commutative Yang-Mills theory at the one-loop approximation. We check renormalizability and gauge invariance of the model and calculate the one-loop beta function. The interaction of the SU(N) gauge bosons with the…
The renormalization of N=1 Super Yang-Mills theory is analysed in the Wess-Zumino gauge, employing the Landau condition. An all orders proof of the renormalizability of the theory is given by means of the Algebraic Renormalization…
The manifestly gauge invariant Exact Renormalisation Group provides a framework for performing continuum computations in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, without fixing the gauge. We use this formalism to compute the two-loop beta function in a…
Quantum corrections to the magnetic central charge of the monopole in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are free from the anomalous contributions that were crucial for BPS saturation of the two-dimensional supersymmetric kink and the N=2…
We continue the investigation from a previous paper concerning the super-renormalizablity of gauge models going to the third order of the perturbation theory. Here we consider only the Yang-Mills case and we prove that this property is true…
We discuss the algebraic structure of the various BRST symmetries associated with topological Yang-Mills theory as a generalization of the BRS analysis developed for the non-Abelian anomaly in the local Yang-Mills theory. We show that our…
We perform a systematic one-loop renormalization of a general renormalizable Yang-Mills theory coupled to scalars and fermions using a regularization scheme with a smooth momentum cutoff $\Lambda$ (implemented through an exponential damping…
We formulate noncommutative self-dual N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in D=2+2 dimensions. As in the corresponding commutative case, this theory can serve as the possible master theory of all the noncommutative supersymmetric…
The conditions for fully supersymmetric backgrounds of general N=2 locally supersymmetric theories are derived based on the off-shell superconformal multiplet calculus. This enables the derivation of a non-renormalization theorem for a…
