It has been known for some time that there are many inequivalent quantizations possible when the configuration space of a system is a coset space G/H. Viewing this classical system as a constrained system on the group G, we show that these…

Asymptotic symmetries of the Einstein-Yang-Mills system with or without cosmological constant are explicitly worked out in a unified manner. In agreement with a recent conjecture, one finds a Virasoro-Kac-Moody type algebra not only in…

A classification of gravitating Yang--Mills systems in all dimensions is presented. These systems are set up so that they support finite energy solutions. Both regular and black hole solutions are considered, the former being the limit of…

We discuss how D=5 maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (MSYM) might be used to study or even to define the (2,0) theory in six dimensions. It is known that the compactification of (2,0) theory on a circle leads to D=5 MSYM. A variety…

The generalized covariant derivative on 5-dimen-sional space including 1-dimensional extra compact space is defined, and, by use of it, the Weinberg-Salam model is reconstructed. The spontaneous breakdown of symmetry takes place owing to…

In this article, we prove that on any compact spin manifold of dimension m congruent 0,6,7 mod 8, there exists a metric, for which the associated Dirac operator has at least one eigenvalue of multiplicity at least two. We prove this by…

We study the spectrum of the Dirac operator on hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume. Depending on the spin structure it is either discrete or the whole real line. For link complements in S^3 we give a simple criterion in terms of linking…

A canonical basis of global Dirac's observables for Yang-Mills theory with fermions are obtained in a functional space in which Gribov ambiguity is absent and Gauss' laws can be solved exactly. In terms of these observables, one can express…

There are studied in details 5-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds equipped with the structure analogous to the almost cosymplectic (almost coKaehler) structure. The curvature by assumption commutes with the structure affinor and all…

Monopoles in topologically massive gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions with a Chern-Simon mass term have been studied by Pisarski some years ago. He investigated the SU(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs model with an additional Chern-Simon mass term in the…

It is shown that the main geometrical objects involved in all the symmetries or supersymmetries of the Dirac operators in curved manifolds of arbitrary dimensions are the Killing vectors and the Killing-Yano tensors of any ranks. The…

Magnetic monopoles --- particles that behave as isolated north or south magnetic poles --- have been the subject of speculation since the first detailed observations of magnetism several hundred years ago. Numerous theoretical…

We study a class of noncommutative geometries that give rise to dimensionally reduced Yang-Mills theories. The emerging geometries describe sets of copies of an even dimensional manifold. Similarities to the D-branes in string theory are…
