We consider SU(3)-equivariant dimensional reduction of Yang-Mills theory on Kaehler manifolds of the form M x SU(3)/H, with H = SU(2) x U(1) or H = U(1) x U(1). The induced rank two quiver gauge theories on M are worked out in detail for…
We describe a ten dimensional supergravity geometry which is dual to a gauge theory that is non-supersymmetric Yang Mills in the infra-red but reverts to $N$=4 super Yang Mills in the ultra-violet. A brane probe of the geometry shows that…
Mass spectrum of 0++ glueballs is produced using a dual supergravity theory we proposed for pure N=1 SU(N) gauge theory in four dimensions in the large N limit in the IR. The glueball states are expressed in terms of Whittaker functions.…
Using a simple relativistic QFT model of scalar fields we demonstrate that the analytic confinement (propagator is an entire function in the complex p^2-plane) and the weak coupling constant lead to the Regge behaviour of the two-particle…
We study the supersymmetric Wilson loops in the four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in the context of AdS/CFT correspondence. In the gauge theory side, it is known that the expectation value of the Wilson loops of circular shape…
We derive five-dimensional super Yang-Mills theory from mass-deformed ABJM theory by expanding about $S^2$ for large Chern-Simons level $K$. We obtain the Yang-Mills coupling constant $g_{YM}^2 = 4\pi^2 R/K$. If we consider $S^3/{\mb{Z}_K}$…
In this paper, we investigate the 1/4 BPS Wilson-'t Hooft loops in $\mathcal{N}$=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We use the bulk D3-brane solutions with both electric and magnetic charges on its world-volume to describe some of 1/4 BPS…
We show that a solution of the type IIB supergravity representing D3-branes in the presence of a 2-form background has 16 supersymmetries by explicitly constructing the transformation parameter of unbroken supersymmetry. This solution is…
We provide the reformulations of Yang-Mills theories in terms of gauge invariant metric-like variables in three and four dimensions. The reformulations are used to analyze the dimension two gluon condensate and give gauge invariant…
In this paper we study qualitative features of glueballs in N=1 SYM for models of wrapped branes in IIA and IIB backgrounds. The scalar mode, 0++ is found to be a mixture of the dilaton and the internal part of the metric. We carry out the…
In this paper we study, by means of numerical simulations, the behaviour of the scalar glueball mass and the ground state of the torelon for trace deformed Yang-Mills theory defined on $ \mathbb{R}^3\times S^1$, in which center symmetry is…
Bound state of two massive constituent gluons is studied in the potential approach. Relativistic quasi-classical wave equation with the QCD-inspired scalar potential is solved by the quasi-classical method in the complex plane. Glueball…
We develop and study a D-brane realization of 4D N=2 super Yang-Mills theory. It is a type IIB string theory compactified on R^6\times K3 and containing parallel 7-branes. It can also be regarded as a subsector of Vafa's F-theory…

We consider the Yang-Mills equations for a matrix gauge group $G$ inside the future light cone of 4-dimensional Minkowski space, which can be viewed as a Lorentzian cone $C(H^3)$ over the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3$. Using the…
We explore, at the nonperturbative level, the large $N$ equivalence between ordinary $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{R}^4$ and on $\mathbb{R}^3 \times S^1$ with double-trace deformations. In particular, we compare the values of the…
Recently,in a paper hep-th/0511197, it was found that non-commutative super Yang-Mills (NCSYM) theory with space-dependent noncommutativity can be formulated as a decoupling limit of open strings ending on D3-branes wrapping a Melvin…
We construct d<=7 dimensional maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on a class of curved backgrounds with off-shell supercharges. The off-shell supersymmetry is mainly a generalization of on-shell supersymmetry constructed previously…
Gauge theories possess non-local features that, in the presence of boundaries, inevitably lead to subtleties. In this article, we continue our study of a unified solution based on a geometric tool operating on field-space: a connection…
