In these lectures, which are written at an elementary and pedagogical level, we discuss general aspects of (single) instantons in SU(N_c) Yang-Mills theory, and then specialize to the case of N = 4 supersymmetry and the large N_c limit. We…

We argue that, ideally, the ways to measure magnitudes in non-quantum theories of physics (spacetime, field theory), limit drastically their possible mathematical models. In particular, gauge invariance in the Yang-Mills framework, is a…

The spectrum of D=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics is computed with high accuracy in all channels of angular momentum and fermion number. Localized and non-localized states coexists in certain channels as a consequence of the…

We review the main ideas underlying the emerging theory of Yangians -- the new type of hidden symmetry in string-inspired models. Their classification by quivers is a far-going generalization of simple Lie algebras classification by Dynkin…

Classical real-time lattice simulations play an important role in understanding non-equilibrium phenomena in gauge theories and are used in particular to model the prethermal evolution of heavy-ion collisions. Above the Debye scale the…

In this paper we consider features of graviton scattering in Matrix theory compactified on a 2-torus. The features which interest us can only be determined by nonperturbative effects in the corresponding 2+1 dimensional super Yang Mills…

We propose an experiment to measure the slow log(N) convergence to mean-field theory (MFT) around a dynamical instability. Using a density matrix formalism, we derive equations of motion which go beyond MFT and provide accurate predictions…

Understanding the fluctuations of observables is one of the main goals in science, be it theoretical or experimental, quantum or classical. We investigate such fluctuations when only a subregion of the full system can be observed, focusing…

Random matrix theory is used to represent generic loss of coherence of a fixed central system coupled to a quantum-chaotic environment, represented by a random matrix ensemble, via random interactions. We study the average density matrix…

We reconsider here the model where large quantum gravity effects were first found, but now in its Null Surface Formulation (NSF). We find that although the set of coherent states for $Z$, the basic variable of NSF, is as restricted as it is…

Mean-field theories have proven to be efficient tools for exploring diverse phases of matter, complementing alternative methods that are more precise but also more computationally demanding. Conventional mean-field theories often fall short…

A review of the relationships between matrix models and noncommutative gauge theory is presented. A lattice version of noncommutative Yang-Mills theory is constructed and used to examine some generic properties of noncommutative quantum…

Matrix models and their connections to String Theory and noncommutative geometry are discussed. Various types of matrix models are reviewed. Most of interest are IKKT and BFSS models. They are introduced as 0+0 and 1+0 dimensional reduction…

In this note we want to have another look on Schwinger-Dyson equations for the eigenvalue distributions and the fluctuations of classical unitarily invariant random matrix models. We are exclusively dealing with one-matrix models, for which…

The solution of quantum Yang-Mills theory on arbitrary compact two-manifolds is well known. We bring this solution into a TQFT-like form and extend it to include corners. Our formulation is based on an axiomatic system that we hope is…
