Twisted compactification of the 6d N=(2,0) theories on a punctured Riemann surface give a large class of 4d N=1 and N=2 gauge theories, called class S. We argue that nonperturbative dynamics of class S theories are described by 5d maximal…
The partition function of a quantum field theory with an exact symmetry can be decomposed into a sum of functional integrals each giving the contribution from states with definite symmetry properties. The composition rules of the…
The classical solutions to higher dimensional Yang--Mills (YM) systems, which are integral parts of higher dimensional Einstein--YM (EYM) systems, are studied. These are the gravity decoupling limits of the fully gravitating EYM solutions.…
This review is meant to be an account of the properties of the infinite-dimensional quantum group (specifically, Yangian) symmetry lying behind the integrability of the AdS/CFT spectral problem. In passing, the chance is taken to give a…
Abstrct: We show that the action of self-dual supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four-dimensions, which describes the consistent massless background fields for $~N=2$~ superstring, generates the actions for $~N=1$~ and $~N=2$~…
We review the last year progress in understanding supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills quantum mechanics in four and ten space-time dimensions. The four dimensional system is now well under control and the precise spectrum is obtained in all…
We quantize pure 2d Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary Riemann surface in the gauge where the field strength is diagonal. Twisted sectors originate, as in Matrix string theory, from permutations of the eigenvalues around homotopically…
Geometry of the solution space of the self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) equations in Euclidean four-dimensional space is studied. Combining the twistor and group-theoretic approaches, we describe the full infinite-dimensional symmetry group of…
One-loop scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills (SYM) theories are analyzed in the paradigm of maximal helicity violating Feynman diagrams. There are very limited number of loop integrals to be evaluated. For a process with n…
We give a brief overview of the Yangian symmetry of Feynman integrals. After a short introduction to the Yangian and integrability, we motivate the emergence of integrable structures for Feynman integrals via the fishnet limit of AdS/CFT.…
Super-Yang-Mills theory (SYM) is a central building block for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Whereas the weakly coupled subsector of the latter can be treated within a perturbative setting, the strongly…
Renormalization group evolution of QCD composite light-cone operators, built from two and more quark and gluon fields, is responsible for the logarithmic scaling violations in diverse physical observables. We analyze spectra of anomalous…
We study the null dipole deformation of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory, which is an example of a potentially solvable "dipole CFT": a theory that is non-local along a null direction, has non-relativistic conformal invariance along the…
This thesis deals with the phase space realization of asymptotic higher spin symmetries, in 4d asymptotically flat spacetimes. In the gravitational case for instance, these symmetries generalize the BMS algebra to include an infinite tower…
We construct a non-perturbative action of the higher spin symmetry algebra on the asymptotic Yang-Mills phase space. We introduce a symmetry algebroid which admits a realization on the asymptotic phase space generated by a Noether charge…
We propose a 5-dimensional definition for the physical 4D-Yang-Mills theory. The fifth dimension corresponds to the Monte-Carlo time of numerical simulations of QCD_4. The 5-dimensional theory is a well-defined topological quantum field…
We present a three-loop analysis of the scattering amplitude of five nearly massless W-bosons in planar maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. The basis of the master integrals is established, making use of the unitarity-cut sewing…
Various nonsupersymmetric theories at large but finite $N$ are argued to permit light scalars and large hierarchies without fine-tuning. In a dual string description, the hierarchy results from competition between classical and quantum…
Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model. Lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly…
It was pointed out by Shifman and Yung that the critical superstring on $X^{10}={\mathbb R}^4\times Y^6$, where $Y^6$ is the resolved conifold, appears as an effective theory for a U(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs system with four fundamental Higgs…
