For a generic gauge-invariant correlator <{\cal Q}[A_{\mu}]>_{A}, we reformulate the standard D=4 Yang-Mills theory as a renormalizable system of two interacting fields a_{\mu} and B_{\mu} which faithfully represent high- and low-energy…

We study the formulation of the Wilson renormalization group (RG) method for a non-Abelian gauge theory. We analyze the simple case of $SU(2)$ and show that the local gauge symmetry can be implemented by suitable boundary conditions for the…
The conditions leading to a nontrivial renormalization of the topological charge in four--dimensional Yang--Mills theory are discussed. It is shown that if the topological term is regarded as the limit of a certain nontopological…
We show that U(N) Yang-Mills theory on noncommutative Minkowski space-time can be renormalized, in a BRS invariant way, at the one-loop level, by multiplicative dimensional renormalization of its coupling constant, its gauge parameter and…
In this paper, I show that a Yang-Mills force with a U(1)$\timesSU(2)\times$SU(2) group symmetry predicts solar system observations of gravitational behavior as well as binary pulsar precession provided that mass is redefined as intrinsic…
We study the family of ten dimensional type IIB supergravity solutions corresponding to renormalisation group flows from N=4 to N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Part of the solution set corresponds to a submanifold of the Coulomb…
The renormalization functions involved in the determination of the topological susceptibility in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory are extracted by direct measurements, without relying on perturbation theory. The determination exploits the…
The infrared behavior of gluon and ghost propagators in Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory has been at the center of an intense debate over the last decade. Different solutions of the Dyson-Schwinger equations show a different behavior of the…
The explicit one-loop renormalizability of pure Yang-Mills theory with Lorentz violation is demonstrated. The result is consistent with multiplicative renormalization as the required counter terms are consistent with a single re-scaling of…
We study Landau-gauge Yang-Mills theory by means of a nonperturbative vertex expansion of the quantum effective action. Using an exact renormalization group equation, we compute the fully dressed gluon and ghost propagators to lowest…
The well-known phase structure of the two-dimensional sine-Gordon model is reconstructed by means of its renormalization group flow, the study of the sensitivity of the dynamics on microscopic parameters. Such an analysis resolves the…
We analyze the coupled N=2 supergravity and Yang-Mills system using holomorphy, near the rigid limit where the former decouples from the latter. We find that there appears generically a new mass scale around g M_{pl} where g is the gauge…
In this note, we use the new bottom up method based on soft theorems to construct the expansion of single-trace Yang-Mills-scalar amplitudes recursively. The resulted expansion manifests the gauge invariance for any polarization carried by…
A manifestly invariant renormalization scheme of N=1 nonabelian supersymmetric gauge theories is proposed.
Some nonperturbative aspects of Euclidean Yang-Mills theories in four dimensions, quantized in the Landau gauge, are analytically studied. In particular, we investigate the dynamical mass generation for the gluons due to the presence of…
It is shown that the renormalized finite temperature effective potential for continuum $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory develops a non-perturbative minimum for sufficiently strong coupling, i.e. below a critical temperature. The corresponding…
The Coulomb gauge in QCD is the only explicitly unitary gauge. But it suffers from energy-divergences which means that it is not rigorously well-defined. One way to define it unambiguously is as the limit of a gauge interpolating between…
We introduce the concept of general gauge theory which includes Yang-Mills models. In the framework of the causal approach and show that the anomalies can appear only in the vacuum sector of the identities obtained from the gauge invariance…
The recently-developed "scalar-scaffolding" formulation of gluon amplitudes casts the Yang-Mills (YM) amplitude as a well-defined Laurent series expansion in scalar variables, valid for any spacetime dimension and helicity configuration. In…
