It is well known that the action functional can be used to define classical, quantum, closed, and open dynamics in a generalization of the variational principle and in the path integral formalism in classical and quantum dynamics,…
This paper exposes a reformulation of some gauge theories in terms of explicitly gauge-invariant variables. We show in the case of Scalar QED that the classical theory can be reformulated locally with some gauge invariant variables. We…
Non-Abelian gauge theories with composite fields are examined in the background field method. Generating functionals of Green's functions for a Yang--Mills theory with composite and background fields are introduced, including the generating…
Recent researches on the solution of Schwinger-Dyson equations, as well as lattice simulations of pure QCD, suggest that the gluon propagator is massive. In this letter, we assume that the classical counterpart of this massive gluon field…
We analyze a recent proposal to map a massless scalar field theory onto a Yang-Mills theory at classical level. It is seen that this mapping exists at a perturbative level when the expansion is a gradient expansion. In this limit the…
We derive the two-loop effective action for covariantly constant field strength of pure Yang-Mills theory in the presence of an infrared scale. The computation is done in the framework of the worldline formalism, based on a generalization…

A recent formalism capturing the classical-quantum coupling in a Hamiltonian theory for probabilistic classical mechanics has been proposed: the Koopman-van Hove formulation. The aims of this report are twofolds. First, we rigourously…
We construct a spinfoam model for Yang-Mills theory coupled to quantum gravity in three dimensional riemannian spacetime. We define the partition function of the coupled system as a power series in g_0^2 G that can be evaluated order by…
We give analytic expression for the three-point function of three large classical non-BPS operators N=4 Super-Yang-Mills theory at weak coupling. We restrict ourselves to operators belonging to an su(2) sector of the theory. In order to…
We describe the elements of a novel structural approach to classical field theory, inspired by recent developments in perturbative algebraic quantum field theory. This approach is local and focuses mainly on the observables over field…
We apply nonabelian equivariant localization techniques to Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere to write the partition function entirely as a sum over local contributions from critical points of the action. The contributions of the…
We consider the ``metric-affine-like'' generalization of the Yang-Mills theory (mal-YM) which we first proposed earlier. In this model, the connection is no longer assumed to be compatible with the Hermitian form in the fibers. As a…
These notes provide an introduction to a number of those topics in Classical Mechanics that are useful for field theory.
We propose a systematic way of finding solutions to classical Yang-Mills equation with nontrivial topology. This approach is based on one of Wightman axioms for quantum field theory, which is referred to as form invariance condition in this…
One of the main open problems of mathematical physics is to consistently quantize Yang-Mills gauge theory. If such a consistent quantization were to exist, it is reasonable to expect a ``Wightman reconstruction theorem,'' by which a Hilbert…
The quantization of Yang-Mills field theories requires the introduction of a gauge fixing which leads to a violation of the Local Gauss Law described by the so-called Gauss operator. We discuss the local quantizations of Yang-Mills theories…
Using the Vafa-Witten twisted version of N=4 Super Yang-Mills a subset of the supercharges actually relevant for the nonrenormalization properties of the theory is identified. In particular, a relationship between the gauge-fixed action and…
Despite the fact that the integral form of the equations of classical electrodynamics is well known, the same is not true for non-abelian gauge theories. The aim of the present paper is threefold. First, we present the integral form of the…
The conventional path integral expression for the Yang-Mills transition amplitude with flat measure and gauge-fixing built in via the Faddeev-Popov method has been claimed to fall short of guaranteeing gauge invariance in the…
