A unified theory of the non-Abelian gauge interactions with gravity in the framework of a discretized Kaluaza-Kleine theory is constructed with a modified Dirac operator and wedge product. All the couplings of chiral spinors to the…
An approximation is used that permits one to explicitly solve the two-point Schwinger-Dyson equations of the U(N) lattice chiral models. The approximate solution correctly predicts a phase transition for dimensions $d$ greater than two. For…
We study generalized multifractality characterizing fluctuations and correlations of eigenstates in disordered systems of symmetry classes AII, D, and DIII. Both metallic phases and Andersonlocalization transitions are considered. By using…
QCD can be formulated using any gauge group. One particular interesting choice is to replace SU(3) by the exceptional group G2. Conceptually, this group is the simplest group with a trivial center. It thus permits to study the conjectured…

We consider 5d Yang-Mills theory with a compact ADE-type gauge group $G$ on ${\mathbb R}^{3,1}\times{\cal I}$, where $\cal I$ is an interval. The maximally supersymmetric extension of this model appears after compactification on $S^1$ of 6d…
We study d=2, N=(2,2) non-linear sigma-models in (2,2) superspace. By analyzing the most general constraints on a superfield, we show that through an appropriate choice of coordinates, there are no other superfields than chiral, twisted…
Cosmological models with an SU(2) Yang-Mills field are studied. For a specific model with a minimally coupled Yang-Mills Lagrangian, which includes an arbitrary function of the second-order term and a fourth-order term, a corresponding…
We perform Monte Carlo calculation of correlation functions in 4d N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on R*S^3 in the planar limit. In order to circumvent the well-known problem of lattice SUSY, we adopt the idea of a novel large-N reduction, which…
Electromagnetism can be generalized to Yang-Mills theory by replacing the group U(1)$ by a nonabelian Lie group. This raises the question of whether one can similarly generalize 2-form electromagnetism to a kind of "higher-dimensional…
We undertake a detailed study of the gaugings of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory by its intrinsic charge conjugation 0-form and centre 1-form global symmetries, elucidating their higher algebraic and geometric structures, as well as the…
Many observables in 4d $\mathcal N=4$ SYM with Gaiotto-Witten boundary conditions can be described exactly by matrix models via supersymmetric localization. The boundaries typically introduce new degrees of freedom, through a reduction of…
We present a unified formulation for higher gauge theory using generalized forms, encompassing higher connections, curvatures, and gauge transformations. We begin by developing the calculus of generalized forms valued in higher algebras and…
The partition function of general N = 2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theories on a four-sphere localizes to a matrix integral. We show that in the decompactification limit, and in a certain regime, the integral is dominated by a saddle…
I propound a non-linear generalization of the Poisson equation describing a "medium" in D dimensions with a "dielectric constant" proportional to the field strength to the power D-2. It is the only conformally invariant scalar theory that…
In the present paper we shall extend the gauge principle so that it will enlarge the original algebra of the Abelian gauge transformations found earlier in our studies of tensionless strings to the non-Abelian case. In this extension of the…
We present a complex matrix gauge model defined on an arbitrary two-dimensional orientable lattice. We rewrite the model's partition function in terms of a sum over representations of the group U(N). The model solves the general…
In the recently proposed generalization of the Yang-Mills theory the group of gauge transformation gets essentially enlarged. This enlargement involves an elegant mixture of the internal and space-time symmetries. The resulting group is an…
We introduce a new class of collider-type observables in conformal field theories which we call generalized event shapes. They are defined as matrix elements of light-ray operators that are sensitive to the longitudinal, or time-dependent,…
We present results from numerical simulations of three different 3d four-fermion models that exhibit Z_2, U(1), and SU(2) x SU(2) chiral symmetries, respectively. We performed the simulations by using the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm. We…
