We consider four-dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills theories quantized in the maximal Abelian and linear covariant gauges at finite temperature. Non-perturbatively, the Faddeev-Popov procedure must be improved to take into account the…
The perturbation theory over inverse interaction constant $1/g$ is constructed for Yang-Mills theory. It is shown that the new perturbation theory is free from the gauge ghosts and Gribov's ambiguities, each order over $1/g$ presents the…
In this talk we consider the mass-deformed Yang-Mills theory in the covariant gauge which is obtained by just adding a gluon mass term to the Yang-Mills theory with the covariant gauge fixing term and the associated Faddeev-Popov ghost…
Local solutions to the 3D stochastic quantisation equations of Yang-Mills-Higgs were constructed in (arXiv:2201.03487), and it was shown that, in the limit of smooth mollifications, there exists a mass renormalisation of the Yang-Mills…
We propose a modified version of the Faddeev-Popov quantization approach for non-Abelian gauge field theory to avoid the Gribov ambiguity. We show that by means of introducing a new method to insert the correct identity into the Yang-Mills…
We consider two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories on arbitrary Riemann surfaces. We introduce a generalized Yang-Mills action, which coincides with the ordinary one on flat surfaces but differs from it in its coupling to two-dimensional…
We uncover a method of calculation that proceeds at every step without fixing the gauge or specifying details of the regularisation scheme. Results are obtained by iterated use of integration by parts and gauge invariance identities. The…
We discuss the construction of the physical configuration space for Yang-Mills quantum mechanics and Yang-Mills theory on a cylinder. We explicitly eliminate the redundant degrees of freedom by either fixing a gauge or introducing gauge…
One of the main open problems of mathematical physics is to consistently quantize Yang-Mills gauge theory. If such a consistent quantization were to exist, it is reasonable to expect a ``Wightman reconstruction theorem,'' by which a Hilbert…
Recently, a new procedure to quantize the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in the nonperturbative regime was proposed. The idea is to divide the configuration space $\{A_\mu\}$ into sectors labeled by different topological degrees of freedom and…
The coordinate-free formulation of canonical quantization, achieved by a flat-space Brownian motion regularization of phase-space path integrals, is extended to a special class of closed first-class constrained systems that is broad enough…
Previous path integral treatments of Yang-Mills on a Riemann surface automatically sum over principal fiber bundles of all possible topological types in computing quantum expectations. This paper extends the path integral formulation to…
Pure Yang-Mills theory on ${\mathbb R} \times S^2$ is analyzed in a gauge-invariant Hamiltonian formalism. Using a suitable coordinatization for the sphere and a gauge-invariant matrix parametrization for the gauge potentials, we develop…
In this work we study the Nekrasov--Shatashvili limit of the Nekrasov instanton partition function of Yang--Mills field theories with ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetry and gauge group SU(N). The theories are coupled with fundamental matter. A path…
A Yang-Mills type gauge theory of gravity is shown to have a structure richer than that of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. By elevating the full connections to independent dynamical gauge fields, the theory admits non-trivial…
We suggest a method of introducing the Gribov--Zwanziger horizon functional, $H$, for Yang--Mills theories by using the composite fields technique: $\sigma (\phi )=H$. A different form of the same horizon functional in gauges $\chi $ and…
We evaluate the thermodynamic quantities of Yang-Mills theory using the Gribov quantization, which deals with nonperturbative resummation. The magnetic scale is automatically incorporated into the framework and we find it efficient to…
We propose a one-parameter family of nonlinear covariant gauges which can be formulated as an extremization procedure that may be amenable to lattice implementation. At high energies, where the Gribov ambiguities can be ignored, this…
Generalized Yang-Mills theories are constructed, that can use fields other than vector as gauge fields. Their geometric interpretation is studied. An application to the Glashow-Weinberg-Salam model is briefly review, and some related…
A manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is proposed, allowing gauge invariant calculations, without any gauge fixing or ghosts. The necessary gauge invariant regularisation which implements…
