Models with higher order derivative terms in the kinetic energy appear not only as effective theories, they can be considered as elementary, renormalizable models in their own right. The extension of Higgs mechanism is discussed for…

For the quantized Yang-Mills $3+1$ dimensional problem we introduce the Wilson loop, prove an extension of Elitzur's theorem and shown quark confinement for sufficiently small values of the bare coupling constant, provided the existence of…
We propose the reformulations of the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory toward quark confinement and mass gap. In fact, we have given a new framework for reformulating the $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory using new field variables. This includes the…

Within SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with a source of the non-Abelian gauge field in the form of a classical spinor field, we study the dependence of the mass gap on the coupling constant between the gauge and nonlinear spinor fields. It is shown…
If the space of minima of the effective potential of a weakly coupled 2d quantum field theory is not connected, then a mass gap will be nonpertubatively generated. As examples, we consider two sigma models compactified on a small circle…
We consider bosons on Euclidean R^4 that are minimally coupled to an external Yang-Mills field. We compute the logarithmically divergent part of the cut-off regularized quantum effective action of this system. We confirm the known result…
We investigate the perturbative expansion in $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory compactified on $\mathbb{R}^2\times \mathbb{T}^2$ where the compact space is a torus $\mathbb{T}^2= S^1_{\beta}\times S^1_{L}$, with $S^1_{\beta}$ being a thermal circle…
In this note, we prove an ${L^{\frac{n}{2}}}$-energy gap result for Yang-Mills connections on a principal $G$-bundle over a compact manifold without using Lojasiewicz-Simon gradient inequality (arXiv:1502.00668).
Yang-Mills theory is growing at the interface between high energy physics and mathematics. It is well known that Yang-Mills theory and Gauge theory in general had a profound impact on the development of modern differential and algebraic…
Yang-Mills theories in 2+1 (or 3) dimensions are interesting as nontrivial gauge theories in their own right and as effective theories of QCD at high temperatures. I shall review the basics of our Hamiltonian approach to this theory,…
It is shown that the formulation of the SU(3) Yang-Mills quantum Hamiltonian in the "flux-tube gauge" $A_{a1}=0$ for all a=1,2,4,5,6,7 and $A_{a2}=0$ for all a=5,7 allows for a systematic and practical strong coupling expansion of the…
It is shown that the connection form (gauge field) related to the generalization of the Berry phase to mixed states proposed by Uhlmann satisfies the source-free Yang-Mills equation *D*Dw=0, where the Hodge star is taken with respect to the…
We consider the $SU(2)$ Self-Dual Yang Mills Higgs Lagrangian in 3 dimension. By adding a ''Gauge Mass'' term to this YMH Lagrangian in the form of $L^2$ norm of the connection we break the gauge invariance and critical points are…
We prove the existence of a spectral resolution of the Wheeler-DeWitt equation when the matter field is provided by a Yang-Mills field, with or without mass term, if the spatial geometry of the underlying spacetime is homothetic to $\R[3]$.…
Motivated by quantum simulation, we consider lattice Hamiltonians for Yang-Mills gauge theories with finite gauge group, for example a finite subgroup of a compact Lie group. We show that the electric Hamiltonian admits an interpretation as…
In this paper, we investigate the Langevin dynamics of various lattice formulations of the Yang--Mills--Higgs model, with an inverse Yang--Mills coupling $\beta$ and a Higgs parameter $\kappa$. The Higgs component is either a bounded field…
The SU(3) Yang-Mills Quantum Mechanics of spatially constant gluon fields is considered in the unconstrained Hamiltonian approach using the "flux-tube gauge". The Faddeev-Popov operator, its determinant and inverse, are rather simple, but…
