The area law for entanglement provides one of the most important connections between information theory and quantum many-body physics. It is not only related to the universality of quantum phases, but also to efficient numerical simulations…
I consider a lattice model of a gauge field interacting with matrix-valued scalars in $D$ dimensions. The model includes an adjustable parameter $\s$, which plays role of the string tension. In the limit $\s=\infty$ the model coincides with…
We analyze the $1/\theta$ and 1/N expansions of the Wilson loop averages $<W(C)>_{U_\theta (N)}$ in the two-dimensional noncommutative $U_\theta (N)$ gauge theory with the parameter of noncommutativity $\theta$. For a generic rectangular…
We consider a definition of the QCD running coupling constant $\alpha(\mu)$ related to Wilson loops of size $r{\times}t$ with arbitrary fixed $t/r$. The schemes defined by these couplings are very close to the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme for…
Certain gauge transformations may act non-trivially on physical states in quantum electrodynamics (QED). This observation has sparked the yet unresolved question of how to characterize allowed boundary conditions for gauge theories. Faddeev…
We review our recent results \cite{bsult} on the derivation of a B-S equation in QCD in a Wilson loop context. We work in a second order formalism, use the Feynman--Schwinger path integral representation for a quark in external field and…
We evaluate the energy splitting of vacua appearing in the gauge theory in the space $M_4\times S^N/Z_2$ ($N=2,3,4,5,6$ and $7$). One-loop quantum effects which come from scalar and gauge fields are considered. We calculate them at zero…
We give a path integral prescription for the pair correlation function of Wilson loops lying in the worldvolume of Dbranes in the bosonic open and closed string theory. The results can be applied both in ordinary flat spacetime in the…
We consider "double-winding" Wilson loops in SU(2) gauge theory. These are contours which wind once around a loop $C_1$ and once around a loop $C_2$, where the two co-planar loops share one point in common, and where $C_1$ lies entirely in…
We consider elastic quark-quark scattering at high energy and fixed transferred momentum. Performing factorization of soft gluon exchanges into Wilson line expectation value we find that there is one-to-one correspondence between high…
The dynamics in QED in a strong constant magnetic field and its connection with the noncommutative QED are studied. It is shown that in the regime with the lowest Landau level (LLL) dominance the U(1) gauge symmetry in the fermion…
The leading perturbative contributions into the two-point gauge-invariant correlator $Tr<gF(x)U(x,0)U(0,y)F(y)U(y,0)U(0,x)>$ are calculated at the one-loop order. It is shown, that nonlocal condensate is nonzero at this order. The relation…
Entanglement entropy in free scalar field theory at its ground state is dominated by an area law term. However, when mixed states are considered this property ceases to exist. We show that in such cases the mutual information obeys an "area…
Using covariant phase space formulations for the natural topological invariants associated with the world-surface in closed string theory, we find that certain Wilson loops defined on the world-surface and that preserve topological…
The electromagnetic response of hot QCD matter to decaying external magnetic fields is investigated. We examine the validity of Ohm's law and find that the induced electric current increases from zero and relaxes towards the value from…
We report on the three-loop unpolarized and polarized massive operator matrix elements, with single- and two-mass corrections, and the associated deep-inelastic massive Wilson coefficients in the region $Q^2 \gg m_Q^2$, the calculation of…
We give the formula for a simple Wilson loop on a sphere which is valid for an arbitrary QCD$_2$ saddle-point $\rho(x)$: \mbox{$W(A_1,A_2)=\oint \frac{dx}{2\pi i} \exp(\int dy \frac{\rho(y)}{y-x}+A_2x)$}. The strong-coupling-phase solution…
We investigate strongly correlated non-Abelian plasmas out of equilibrium. Based on numerical simulations, we establish a self-similar scaling property for the time evolution of spatial Wilson loops that characterizes a universal state of…
We discuss the quark and gluon condensates in the presence of a rectangular Wilson loop using the QCD instanton vacuum with three light dynamical quarks. The scalar quark condensate is found to decrease while the gluon condensate to…
We calculate the expectation value of one circular Wilson loop and the correlator of two concentric circular Wilson loops in AdS/QCD using the modified AdS_5-metric given in Ref.[1]. The confinement properties of this metric in AdS/QCD are…
