We construct super-Yang-Mills theories on S4 x R, S4 x S1 and S4 x interval with the field content of maximal SYM, coupled to boundary degrees in the last case. These theories provide building blocks of the `5d uplifts' of gauge theories on…

We show that the $N=2$ and $N=4$ SUSY Yang-Mills action can be reformulated in the sense of non-commutative geometry on $M^4\times (Z_2\oplus Z_2)$ in a rather simple way. In this way the scalars or pseudoscalars are viewed as gauge fields…

Spin-charge separation in pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory was recently found to involve the dynamics of an O(3) non-linear sigma model and, seemingly, a Grassmannian non-linear sigma model. In this article we explicitly construct the…
