We use the Yang-Mills gradient flow to study the mixing of CP-violating pure gauge operators in continuum QCD with special attention to Weinberg's d=6 purely gluonic operator. The gradient flow allows for a relatively clear derivation of…
In a series of papers, we examine the physical unitarity in a massive Yang-Mills theory without the Higgs field in which the color gauge symmetry is not spontaneously broken and kept intact. For this purpose, we use a new framework proposed…
The quark <\bar\psi \psi> and gluon <F_{\mu\nu}F^{\mu\nu}> vacuum expectation values are non-vanishing at low orders in \alpha_s when the perturbative ground state includes quark and gluon pairs. This offers possibilities of studying the…

We analyze quantum Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{R}^2$ using a novel discretization method based on an algebraic analogue of stochastic calculus. Such an analogue involves working with "Gaussian" free fields whose covariance matrix is…

In generalized Yang-Mills theories scalar fields can be gauged just as vector fields in a usual Yang-Mills theory, albeit it is done in the spinorial representation. The presentation of these theories is aesthetic in the following sense: A…
A quantum algorithm of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is formulated in terms of quantum circuits. It can nonperturbatively calculate the Dyson series and scattering amplitudes with polynomial complexity. The gauge fields in the interaction picture…
We investigate nonperturbative effects in N=1 and N=2 supersymmetric theories using a relation between perturbative and exact anomalies as a starting point. For N=2 supersymmetric SU(n) Yang-Mills theory we derive the general structure of…
$SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in three dimensions, with a Chern-Simons term of level $k$ (an integer) added, has two dimensionful coupling constants, $g^2 k$ and $g^2 N$; its possible phases depend on the size of $k$ relative to $N$. For $k \gg…
We study $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) on the lattice. The non-perturbative nature of supersymmetric field theories is still largely unknown. Similarly to QCD, SYM is confining and contains strongly bound states.…
I call attention to the possibility that QCD bound states (hadrons) could be derived using rigorous Hamiltonian, perturbative methods. Solving Gauss' law for $A^0$ with a non-vanishing boundary condition at spatial infinity gives an…
We perform a perturbative ${\cal O}(g^4)$ Wilson loop calculation for the U(N) Yang-Mills theory defined on non-commutative one space - one time dimensions. We choose the light-cone gauge and compare the results obtained when using the…

The canonical structure of pure Yang-Mills theory is analysed in the case when Gauss' law is satisfied identically by construction. It is shown that the theory has a canonical structure in this case, provided one uses a special gauge…
