We propose a new version of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory reformulated in terms of new field variables which are obtained by a nonlinear change of variables from the original Yang-Mills gauge field. The reformulated Yang-Mills theory enables us…
We study the moduli space of Yang--Mills connections on bundles over a conformally compact manifold $\overline{M}$. We prove that, for every Yang--Mills connection $A$ that satisfies an appropriate nondegeneracy condition, and for every…
Based on an explicit model, we propose and discuss the generic features of a possible implementation of the Twin Higgs program in the context of composite Higgs models. We find that the Twin Higgs quadratic divergence cancellation argument…
A few years ago H. Morales and the author introduced a type of generalized derivative that contained both vector and scalar boson fields. Here it is shown how to construct a full-fledged generalized Yang-Mills theory through the…
The Seiberg-Witten map for noncommutative Yang-Mills theories is studied and methods for its explicit construction are discussed which are valid for any gauge group. In particular the use of the evolution equation is described in some…
The classical Hennessy-Milner theorem says that two states of an image-finite transition system are bisimilar if and only if they satisfy the same formulas in a certain modal logic. In this paper we study this type of result in a general…
We introduce the basic equivariant quantity $Q$ in the gauge theory on the noncommutative descrete $Z_{2}$ space, which plays an important role for the equivariant dimensional reduction. If the gauge configuration of the ground state on the…
Regular and black-hole solutions of the spontaneously broken Einstein-Yang-Mills-Higgs theory with nonminimal coupling to gravity are shown to exist. The main characteristics of the solutions are presented and differences with respect to…
We consider a formulation of Yang-Mills theory where the gauge field is valued on an octonionic algebra and the gauge transformation is the group of automorphisms of it. We show, under mild assumptions, that the only possible gauge…
This essay's title is justified by discussing a class of Yang-Mills-type theories of which standard Yang-Mills theories are special cases but which is broad enough to include gravity as a double field theory. We use the framework of…
We show the existence of Yang--Mills--Higgs (YMH) fields over a Riemann surface with boundary where a free boundary condition is imposed on the section and a Neumann boundary condition on the connection. In technical terms, we study the…
This article is devoted to the energy critical hyperbolic Yang--Mills system in the $(4+1)$ dimensional Minkowski space, which is considered by the authors in a sequence of four papers. The final outcome of these papers is twofold: (i) the…
The Bogomolny equations for Yang-Mills-Higgs monopoles follow from a system of linear equations which may be solved through a parametric Riemann-Hilbert problem. We extend this approach to noncommutative R^3 and use it to (re)construct…
An equation for the quantum average of the gauge invariant Wilson loop in non-commutative Yang-Mills theory with gauge group U(N) is obtained. In the 't Hooft limit, the equation reduces to the loop equation of ordinary Yang-Mills theory.…
We use the energy gap result of pure Yang-Mills equation [Feehan P.M.N., Adv. Math. 312 (2017), 547-587, arXiv:1502.00668] to prove another energy gap result of complex Yang-Mills equations [Gagliardo M., Uhlenbeck K., J. Fixed Point Theory…
Recent results obtained within the Hamiltonian approach to continuum Yang-Mills theory in Coulomb gauge are reviewed.
The variational methods implemented on a quadratic Yang-Mills type Lagrangian yield two sets of equations interpreted as the field equations and the energy-momentum tensor for the gravitational field. A covariant condition is imposed on the…
We revisit an old idea that gravity can be unified with Yang-Mills theory by enlarging the gauge group of gravity formulated as gauge theory. Our starting point is an action that describes a generally covariant gauge theory for a group G.…
We consider theories with degenerate kinetic terms such as those that arise at strong coupling in $N=2$ super Yang-Mills theory. We compute the components of generalized $N=1,2$ supersymmetric sigma model actions in two dimensions. The…
The homotopy Lie or $L_{\infty}$ algebra encoding Yang-Mills theory is the tensor product of a color Lie algebra with the kinematic $C_{\infty}$ algebra. We derive this $C_{\infty}$ algebra, via homotopy transfer, from a strict operator…
