The induced lattice gauge theory with various types of inducing fields in fundamental representation of $SU(N_{c})$ is considered. In a simple case of one-plaquette lattice the model is solved in the large $N_{c}$ limit by means of loop…
I propose a class of D\geq{2} lattice SU(N) gauge theories dual to certain vector models endowed with the local [U(N)]^{D} conjugation-invariance and Z_{N} gauge symmetry. In the latter models, both the partitition function and Wilson loop…
We find the exact solution of a recently proposed model of the lattice gauge theory induced by heavy scalar field in adjoint representation at $ N= \infty $ for arbitrary dimension $D$. The nonlinear integral equation for the gauge…
We consider the simplest gauge theories given by one- and two- matrix integrals and concentrate on their stringy and geometric properties. We remind general integrable structure behind the matrix integrals and turn to the geometric…
A higher dimensional lattice space can be decomposed into a number of four-dimensional lattices called as layers. The higher dimensional gauge theory on the lattice can be interpreted as four-dimensional gauge theories on the multi-layer…
I review some recent works on the Hermitean one-matrix and d-dimensional gauge-invariant matrix models. Special attention is paid to solving the models at large-N by the loop equations. For the one-matrix model the main result concerns…
These notes provide an introduction to recent work by Kevin Costello in which integrable lattice models of classical statistical mechanics in two dimensions are understood in terms of quantum gauge theory in four dimensions. This…
A particular $U(N)$ gauge theory defined on the three dimensional dodecahedral lattice is shown to correspond to a model of oriented self-avoiding surfaces. Using large $N$ reduction it is argued that the model is partially soluble in the…
We consider vector induced lattice gauge theories, in particular we consider the QED induced and we show that at negative temperature corresponds to the dimer problem while at positive temperature it describes a gas of branched polymers…

The U(N) gauge theory on a D-dimensional lattice is reformulated as a theory of lattice strings (a statistical model of random surfaces). The Boltzmann weights of the surfaces can have both signs and are tuned so that the longitudinal modes…
A simple lattice model inducing a gauge theory is considered. The model describes an interaction of a gauge field to an $N\times N$ complex matrix scalar field transforming as a field in the fundamental representation. In contrast to the…
The abundance of infrared singularities in gauge theories due to unresolved emission of massless particles (soft and collinear) represents the main difficulty in perturbative calculations. They are typically regularized in dimensional…
We show that the Kazakov-Migdal (K-M) induced gauge model in $d$ dimensions describes the high temperature limit of ordinary lattice gauge theories in $d+1$ dimensions. The matter fields are related to the Polyakov loops, while the spatial…
We propose a new point of view to gauge theories based on taking the action of symmetry transformations directly on the coordinates of space. Via this approach the gauge fields are not introduced at the first step, and they can be…
We investigate the problem of mapping, through the Morita equivalence, odd dimensional noncommutative lattice gauge theories onto suitable matrix models. We specialize our analysis to noncommutative three dimensional QED (NCQED) and scalar…

A matrix model describing surfaces embedded in a Bethe lattice is considered. From the mean field point of view, it is equivalent to the Kazakov-Migdal induced gauge theory and therefore, at $N=\infty$ and $d>1$, the latter can be…
Formulating gauge theories on a lattice offers a genuinely non-perturbative way of studying quantum field theories, and has led to impressive achievements. In particular, it significantly deepened our understanding of quantum…
