In this paper we recover the non-perturbative partition function of 2D~Yang-Mills theory from the perturbative path integral. To achieve this goal, we study the perturbative path integral quantization for 2D~Yang-Mills theory on surfaces…
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…
We propose a new one-parameter family of Landau gauges for Yang-Mills theories which can be formulated by means of functional integral methods and are thus well suited for analytic calculations, but which are free of Gribov ambiguities and…
In generalized Yang-Mills theories scalar fields can be gauged just as vector fields in a usual Yang-Mills theory, albeit it is done in the spinorial representation. The presentation of these theories is aesthetic in the following sense: A…
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…
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…

In this paper we continue the program on the classification of extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics started in arXiv:2007.01660. We propose four complementary questions to be considered when trying to classify any class of…
In this paper, we analyze the quantization of Yang-Mills theory in the de Sitter spacetime. It is observed that the Faddeev--Popov ghost propagator is divergent in this spacetime. However, this divergence is removed by using an effective…
A strong coupling expansion around the non-trivial extremum of the Yang-Mills action will be described. It is shown that the developed formalism is the Gribov ambiguity free and each order of the developed perturbation theory is…
An explicit canonical transformation is constructed to relate the physical subspace of Yang-Mills theory to the phase space of the ADM variables of general relativity. This maps 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory to local evolution of…
An efficient way of resolving Gauss' law in Yang-Mills theory is presented by starting from the projected gauge invariant partition function and integrating out one spatial field variable. In this way one obtains immediately the description…
