It is argued that the sphaleron solutions appearing in the Einstein-Yang-Mills theory are important in the transition processes at extremely high energies. Namely, when the energy exceeds the sphaleron mass, the existence of these solutions…
In order to have a new perspective on the long-standing problem of the mass gap in Yang-Mills theory, we study the quantum Yang-Mills theory in the presence of topologically nontrivial backgrounds in this paper. The topologically stable…

A mathematically rigorous relativistic quantum Yang-Mills theory with an arbitrary semisimple compact gauge Lie group is set up in the Hamiltonian canonical formalism. The theory is non-perturbative, without cut-offs, and agrees with the…
A class of $ G $-invariant Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) systems with cosmological constant on homogeneous spaces $ G / H $, where $ G $ is a semisimple compact Lie group, is presented. These EYM--systems can be obtained in terms of dimensional…
We review basic features of cosmological models with large-scale classical non-Abelian Yang-Mills (YM) condensates. There exists a unique SU(2) YM configuration (generalizable to larger gauge groups) compatible with homogeneity and isotropy…
We find Einstein-Yang-Mills (EYM) black hole solutions endowed with massless scalar hair in the presence of a potential $V\left(\phi \right) $ as function of the scalar field $\phi $. Choosing $V\left(\phi \right) =$constant (or zero) sets…
The classical solutions to higher dimensional Yang--Mills (YM) systems, which are integral parts of higher dimensional Einstein--YM (EYM) systems, are studied. These are the gravity decoupling limits of the fully gravitating EYM solutions.…
The Yang-Mills theory is part of the Standard Model of particle physics. The lack of the mathematical understanding of the theory stands out in theoretical physics. In order to address this problem we observe that a recently proposed…
The $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory compactified on $\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^1_L$ with small $L$ has many merits, for example the long range effective theory is weakly coupled and adopts rich topological structures, making it semi-classically…
Wormhole spacetimes may be responsible for the possible loss of quantum coherence and the introduction of additional fundamental quantum indeterminancy of the values of constants of nature. As a system which is known to admit such classical…
We consider the ``metric-affine-like'' generalization of the Yang-Mills theory (mal-YM) which we first proposed earlier. In this model, the connection is no longer assumed to be compatible with the Hermitian form in the fibers. As a…
The uniqueness theorems for general relativity and Yang-Mills theories can be circumvented by dropping the ubiquitous, yet often implicit, assumption that physical fields, such as the spacetime metric, are fundamental. The novel concept of…
We present supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories in arbitrary even dimensions with the signature (9+m,1+m) where $m=0,1,2,...$ beyond ten-dimensions up to infinity. This formulation utilizes null-vectors and is a generalization of our previous…
I review some older work on the effective potentials of quantum field theories, in particular the use of anomalous symmetries to constrain the form of the effective potential, and the background field method for evaluating it…
The spectrum of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory presented so far shows an unexpected gap between the bosonic and fermionic masses. This finding was in contradiction with the basic requirements of supersymmetry. In this work we will present…
Yang-Mills gravity with translational gauge group T(4) in flat space-time implies a simple self-coupling of gravitons and a truly conserved energy-momentum tensor. Its consistency with experiments crucially depends on an interesting…
In theories with anomalous fermion number nonconservation, the level crossing picture is considered a faithful representation of the fermionic quantum number variation. It represents each created fermion by an energy level that crosses the…
We consider the standard Yang-Mills (YM) invariant raised to the power q, i.e., $(F_{\mu \nu}^{(a)}F^{(a) \mu \nu})^{q}$ as the source of our geometry and investigate the possible black hole solutions. How does this parameter q modify the…
We show that adding a vacuum expectation value to a gauge field left over from a dimensional reduction of three-dimensional pure supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory generates mass terms for the fundamental fields in the two-dimensional theory…
