Going back to the early days in the history of quantum mechanics, the interaction of quantum and classical systems stands among the most intriguing open questions in science and makes its appearance in several fields, from physics to…
The classical model of spinning particle is analyzed in details in two versions - with single spinor and two spinors put on the trajectory. Equations of motion of the first version are easily solvable. The system with two spinors becomes…
Uncertainty relations are shown to have nothing specific for quantum mechanics, being the general property valid for arbitrary function. A wave function of a particle having precisely defined position and momentum in QM simultaneously is…
The coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills equations on a time dependent axially symmetric spacetime are investigated, without a priori any conditions on the gauge field. There is numerical evidence for the existence of a regular solution with the…
We consider pure $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory when the space is compactified to a 3-dimensional sphere with finite radius. The Euclidean classical self-dual solutions of the equations of motion (the instantons) and the static finite energy…
These lectures provide an overview of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the SU(3) gauge theory of the strong interactions. The running of the strong coupling and the associated property of Asymptotic Freedom are analyzed. Some selected…
A systematic analysis is made of the relations between the symmetries of a classical field and the symmetries of the one-particle quantum system that results from quantizing that field in regimes where interactions are weak. The results are…
From its inception in statistical physics to its role in the construction and in the development of the asymmetric Yang-Mills phase in quantum field theory, the notion of spontaneous broken symmetry permeates contemporary physics. This is…
We propose an extension of the Yang-Mills paradigm from Lie algebras to internal chiral superalgebras. We replace the Lie algebra-valued connection one-form $A$, by a superalgebra-valued polyform $\widetilde{A}$ mixing exterior-forms of all…
$\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) is a possible building block of theories beyond the standard model. It describes the interaction between gluons and quarks with their superpartners, gluinos and squarks. Since supersymmetry is…
We discuss the classical and quantum reduction to the space of physical degrees of freedom of Yang--Mills theory on a circle (so that space-time is a cylinder). Although the classical reduced phase space is finite-dimensional, the quantum…
The N=4 superconformal Yang-Mills theory on flat four-dimensional Minkowski space is a de-confined gauge theory in the sense that the string tension for fundamental representation coloured quarks vanishes. In fact, static fundamental…
Spatial compactification on $\mathbb R^{3} \times \mathbb S^1_L$ at small $\mathbb S^1$-size $L$ often leads to a calculable vacuum structure, where various "topological molecules" are responsible for confinement and the realization of the…
Within Yang-Mills-Proca theory with external sources in the form of three static quarks, regular, finite energy solutions are obtained. It is shown that color electric/magnetic fields have two components: the first part is a gradient/curl…
A hidden gauge theory structure of quantum mechanics which is invisible in its conventional formulation is uncovered. Quantum mechanics is shown to be equivalent to a certain Yang-Mills theory with an infinite-dimensional gauge group and a…
Three problems stand in the way of deriving classical theories from quantum mechanics: those of realist interpretation, of classical properties and of quantum measurement. Recently, we have identified some tacit assumptions that lie at the…
The purpose is to study systems of interacting particles in the Generl Relativity context, by the principle of least action using purely classical concepts. The particles are described by a state tensor using a Clifford algebra for the…
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…
Recently Boehmer and Lobo have shown that a metric due to Florides, which has been used as an interior Schwarzschild solution, can be extended to reveal a classical singularity that has the form of a two-sphere. Here the singularity is…
We highlight three conflicts between quantum theory and classical general relativity, which make it implausible that a quantum theory of gravity can be arrived at by quantising classical gravity. These conflicts are: quantum nonlocality and…
