This paper has been withdrawn to allow publication elsewhere.

A field theoretic understanding of how the radial direction in the AdS/CFT Correspondence plays the role of a gauge invariant measure of energy scale has long been missing. In SU(N) Yang-Mills, a realization of a gauge invariant cutoff has…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author, due a crucial error in the optimization. For the last one month I have been trying to remove the error, but it seems to take a lot of time so I decided to withdraw this paper for the moment.

This paper has been withdrawn, because the argument for generation of Goldstone modes is incorrect.

This paper has been withdrawn because the models on which it was based have undergone significant changes and improvements. A new paper with the same title, based on the improved models, is accepted for publication in MNRAS and is available…

This paper is withdrawn because the results in the paper are included in a paper to be published in Mathematical and Computer Modelling.

We extend the general framework of perturbative quantum field theory developped for the pure Yang-Mills model to gravity. First we present a variant of the elimination procedure of the anomalies in the second order of perturbation theory.…

It is noted that a given pairing of the phase factor and gauge transformation to retain gauge symmetry is not unique. In their seminal paper, when Yang and Mills (YM) discuss the phase factor - gauge transformation relationship, they cite…

The combined method of Higher Covariant Derivatives and Pauli-Villars regularization to regularize pure Yang-Mills theories is formulated in the framework of Batalin and Vilkovisky. However, BRS invariance is broken by this method and…

We deepen the understanding of the quantization of the Yang-Mills field by showing that the concept of gauge fixing in 4 dimensions is replaced in the 5-dimensional formulation by a procedure that amounts to an $A$-dependent gauge…

We study the BRST renormalization of an alternative formulation of the Yang-Mills theory, where the matrix-propagator of the gluon and the complementary fields is diagonal. This procedure involves scalings as well as non-linear mixings of…

The construction of effective field theories describing M-theory compactified on $S^1/{\bf Z}_2$ is revisited, and new insights into the parameters of the theory are explained. Particularly, the web of constraints which follow from…

We report on the work presented in Phys. Lett. B712 (2012) 97, where a new one-parameter family of Landau gauges has been proposed for Yang-Mills theories, inspired by an analogy with disordered systems in condensed matter physics. This is…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to an error in the proof of Proposition 4.8.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author,due a immature idea.

This paper has been withdrawn by the author due to a crucial sign error in equation 1

This paper has been withdrawn by the author. It will be replaced, substantially modified, by sections of the author's completed PhD thesis.

The complexity of "top-down" string-dual candidates for strongly-coupled Yang-Mills theories and in particular for QCD almost always prohibits their exact analytical or even comprehensive numerical treatment. This impedes both a thorough…

Studying the gauge-invariant renormalizability of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory using the background field method and the BV-formalism, we derive a classical master-equation homogeneous with respect to the antibracket by introducing…
