We develop quantum corrections to the Wilson line-based action which we recently derived through a transformation that eliminates triple gluon vertices from the Yang-Mills action on the light-cone. The action efficiently computes high…
We present a new model for Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere in which the configuration space of gauge fields is given by a coadjoint orbit. In the classical limit it reduces to ordinary Yang-Mills theory on the sphere. We find all…
A classification of gravitating Yang--Mills systems in all dimensions is presented. These systems are set up so that they support finite energy solutions. Both regular and black hole solutions are considered, the former being the limit of…
New collective coordinates, related to the field at the `center' of the monopoles, are proposed. A systematic computation of the infrared properties of 2+1- and 3+1- dimensional Yang-Mills theory is now possible and is related to solutions…
We derive the usual first-order form of the Yang-Mills action in arbitrary dimensions by dimensional reduction from a Chern-Simons-like action. The antisymmetric tensor auxiliary field of the first-order action appears as a gauge field for…
Entanglement entropy is a notoriously difficult quantity to compute in strongly interacting gauge theories. Existing lattice replica methods have suffered from a severe signal-to-noise ratio problem, making high-precision studies…
We consider extended covariant teleparallel $(f(T))$ gravity whose action is analytic in the torsion scalar and which is sourced by an $su(2)$ valued Yang-Mills field. Specifically, we search for regular solutions to the coupled $f(T)$…

Derivations of a noncommutative algebra can be used to construct differential calculi, the so-called derivation-based differential calculi. We apply this framework to a version of the Moyal algebra ${\cal{M}}$. We show that the differential…
We consider $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills on a circle (cylindrical space-time) and quantize the eigenvalues of the holonomy. In this way the Mandelstam identities associated with the holonomy are trivially solved. Furthermore we indicate that there…
We study the moduli space of Yang--Mills connections on bundles over a conformally compact manifold $\overline{M}$. We prove that, for every Yang--Mills connection $A$ that satisfies an appropriate nondegeneracy condition, and for every…
We calculate the potential contributions of the motion of binary mass systems in gravity to the fifth post--Newtonian order ab initio using coupling and velocity expansions within an effective field theory approach based on Feynman…
We consider a Yang--Mills theory in loop space whose gauge group is a Kac--Moody group with the central extension. From this theory, we derive a local field theory constructed of Yang--Mills fields and abelian antisymmetric and symmetric…
A general method for treating non-Gaussian wave functionals in quantum field theory is presented and applied to the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge in order to include a three-gluon kernel in the exponential of…
We investigate the temporal Wilson loop using the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory. In simple cases such as the Abelian theory or the non-Abelian theory in (1+1) dimensions, the known results can be reproduced using unitary…
A nonlinear vector supersymmetry for three-dimensional topological massive Yang-Mills is obtained by making use of a nonlinear but local and covariant redefinition of the gauge field.
The Hamiltonian formulation of the theory of J-bundles is given both in the Hamilton--De Donder and in the Multimomentum Hamiltonian geometrical approaches. (3+3) Yang-Mills gauge theories are dealt with explicitly in order to restate them…
We examine an extension of the ideas of quantum cosmology and, in particular, the proposal of Hartle and Hawking for the boundary conditions of the Universe, to models which incorporate Yang-Mills fields. Inhomogeneous perturbations about a…
In the present paper, we consider a model of non-minimal modified Yang-Mills theory in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmology, in which the Yang-Mills field couples to the scalar curvature through a function of its first invariant. We…
