We determine the critical couplings and the critical exponents of the finite temperature transition in SU(2) and SU(3) pure gauge theory in (2+1) dimensions. We also measure Wilson loops at $T=0$ on a wide range of $\beta$ values using APE…
The effective potential in thermal gluodynamics has stable minima in perturbation theory. There the Wilson line is center group valued and eigenvalues of the Wilson line stay clustered. Calorons with non-trivial holonomy contribute to one…
We study the low temperature tunneling density of states of thin wires where superconductivity is destroyed through quantum phase-slip proliferation. Although this regime is believed to behave as an insulator, we show that for a large…
At high energies particles move very fast so the proper degrees of freedom for the fast gluons moving along the straight lines are Wilson-line operators - infinite gauge factors ordered along the line. In the framework of operator expansion…
I demonstrate that the amplitude of the high-energy scattering can be factorized in a convolution of the contributions due to fast and slow fields. The fast and slow fields interact by means of Wilson-line operators -- infinite gauge…
We examine the high energy (Regge) limit of gravitational scattering using a Wilson line approach previously used in the context of non-Abelian gauge theories. Our aim is to clarify the nature of the Reggeization of the graviton and the…
Theoretical and numerical studies of the Wilson flow in lattice QCD suggest that the gauge field obtained at flow time t>0 is a smooth renormalized field. The expectation values of local gauge-invariant expressions in this field are thus…
The symmetry can be broken at high temperature and then restored at low temperature, which is the so-called \emph{high temperature symmetry breaking}. It often appears in some theories such as the high scale electroweak baryogenesis…
In typical one-dimensional models the Mermin-Wagner theorem forbids long range order, thus preventing finite-temperature phase transitions. We find a finite-temperature phase transition for a homogeneous system of attractive bosons in one…
Spatial correlations - bubbles, domain walls, etc. - can best be studied by concentrating on the degrees of freedom most relevant to the problem. For the finite temperature confinement transition, I integrate out all gauge degrees of…
We use the recently proposed supergravity approach to large $N$ gauge theories to calculate ordinary and spatial Wilson loops of gauge theories in various dimensions. In this framework we observe an area law for spatial Wilson loops in four…
The Wilson (exact) renormalization group equations are used to determine the evolution of a general low energy N=1 supersymmetric action containing a U(1) gauge vector multiplet and a neutral chiral multiplet. The effective theory evolves…
Thermal effects in the broken phase of the electroweak theory are studied in the strongly interacting Higgs boson limit. In that limit and at tree level the bosonic sector of the theory is a gauged non-linear sigma model. The associated…
Using an effective field theory approach, we address the effects on the gauge couplings of one and two additional compact dimensions in the presence of a constant background (gauge) field. Such background fields are a generic presence in…

Wilson line on a non-simply connected manifold is a nice way to break SU(5) unified symmetry, and to solve the doublet--triplet splitting problem. This mechanism also requires, however, that the two Higgs doublets are strictly vector-like…
We look at energies of the low lying states of the hadronic string in three dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory by forming correlation matrices among different sources. We are able to go to previously inaccessible time separations. This…
