In this paper, we study the local well-posedness of the $(1+3)$-dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs (YMH) and the Yang-Mills-Dirac (YMD) system in the Lorenz gauge. Since there is some bilinear term in (YMH), which is a lack of null structure, one…

Attempts to solve Yang-Mills theory must eventually face the problem of analyzing the theory at intermediate values of the coupling constant. In this regime neither perturbation theory nor the gravity dual are adequate, and one must…

The dimension of the Hilbert space of QFT scales exponentially with the volume of the space in which the theory lives, yet in supersymmetric theories, one can define a graded dimension (such as the supersymmetric index) that counts just the…
