Yang-Mills theories are an important building block of the standard model and in particular of quantum chromodynamics. Its correlation functions describe the behavior of its elementary particles, the gauge bosons. In quantum chromodynamics,…
$\mathcal{N}=1$ SUSY Yang-Mills theory is an appealing theoretical framework that has been studied in the literature using different methods, including standard lattice simulations. Among these, the volume-reduced twisted Eguchi-Kawai…
We study a model of quantum Yang-Mills theory with a finite number of gauge invariant degrees of freedom. The gauge field has only a finite number of degrees of freedom since we assume that space-time is a two dimensional cylinder. We…

A class of background independent matrix models is made for which the structure of both local gauge symmetries and classical solutions is clarified. These matrix models do not involve a space-time metric and provide the matrix analogs of…
Neutrino masses have been extensively studied in the context of discrete symmetries. A family permutation symmetry easily explains all neutrino oscillations and their mixing angles. However it is not obvious the embedding of such symmetry…
We analyze large N phase transitions for U(N) q-deformed two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the sphere. We determine the phase diagram of the model and we show that, for small values of the deformation parameter, the theory exhibits a…
We study matrix quantum mechanics at finite temperature by Monte Carlo simulation. The model is obtained by dimensionally reducing 10d U(N) pure Yang-Mills theory to 1d. Following Aharony et al., one can view the same model as describing…
Standard superspace Feynman diagram rules give one estimate of the onset of ultraviolet divergences in supergravity and super Yang-Mills theories. Newer techniques motivated by string theory but which also make essential use of unitarity…

These lecture notes give a pedagogical and (mostly) self-contained review of some basic aspects of the Matrix model of M-theory. The derivations of the model as a regularized supermembrane theory and as the discrete light-cone quantization…
We extend the semiclassical study of the Neumann model down to the deep quantum regime. A detailed study of connection formulae at the turning points allows to get good matching with the exact results for the whole range of parameters.
The large N behavior of Matrix theory is discussed on the basis of the previously proposed generalized conformal symmetry. The concept of `oblique' AdS/CFT correspondence, in which the conformal symmetry involves both the space-time…
It is shown that the simplest multiplicative random complex matrix model generalizes the large-N phase structure found in the unitary case: A perturbative regime is joined to a nonperturbative regime at a point of nonanalyticity.
We construct the gauge-invariant electric and magnetic charges in Yang-Mills theory coupled to cosmological General Relativity (or any other geometric gravity), extending the flat spacetime construction of Abbott and Deser. For…
The finite N version of Matrix theory describes M-theory and superstrings in so-called discretized light cone quantization (DLCQ). Its role has been explained for M-theory in 11 dimensions and for type IIA theory. We show novelties which…
In this paper we discuss some non-trivial relations for ordered exponentials on smooth Riemannian manifolds. As an example of application, we study a dependence of the four-dimensional quantum Yang-Mills effective action on the background…
In practically all extentions of the standard model, the neutrinos naturally acquire a mass. The neutrino mass matrix, however, contains many parameters which can neither be predicted by the prevailing models nor can be fitted to the data.…
An analysis is performed of instanton configurations in pure Euclidean Yang-Mills theory containing small Lorentz-violating perturbations that maintain gauge invariance. Conventional topological arguments are used to show that the general…
