We determine the critical couplings for the deconfinement phase transition in $SU(2)$ gauge theory on $N_\tau \times N_\sigma^3$ lattices with $N_\tau = 8$ and 16 and $N_\sigma$ varying between 16 and 48. A comparison with string tension…

We calculate the ground state energies of closed k-strings in (2+1)-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories, for N=4,5,6,8 and k=2,3,4. From the dependence of the ground state energy on the string length, we infer that such k-strings are described…

The thermodynamic properties of a SU(3) gauge theory without quarks are calculated using a string formulation for 1.2T_c < T < 3T_c. The results are in good agreement with the lattice data. We also comment on SU(N) gauge theories.

In this paper we construct non-Abelian gauge theories with fermions and scalars that nevertheless possess asymptotic freedom.The scalars are taken to be in a chiral multiplet transforming as $(2,2)$ under $SU(2)_L\otimes SU(2)_R$ and…

We report a method to select optimal smearing parameters before production runs and discuss the advantages of this selection for the determination of the string tension.

We calculate the string tension and part of the mass spectrum of SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions using lattice techniques. We combine these new results with older results for N=2,...,5 so as to obtain more accurate…

We study some non-perturbative aspects of noncommutative gauge theories. We find analytic solutions of the equations of motion, for noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, that describe magnetic monopoles with a finite tension string attached.…

We calculate the $\beta$-functions for $SO(N)$ and $SU(N)$ gauge theories coupled to adjoint and fundamental scalar representations, correcting long-standing, previous results. We explore the constraints on $N$ resulting from requiring…

The light mesons such as pi, rho, omega, f0, and a0 are possible candidates of magnetic degrees of freedom, if a magnetic dual picture of QCD exists. We construct a linear sigma model to describe spontaneous breaking of the magnetic gauge…

We compute the action of closed bosonic string field theory at quartic order with fields up to level ten. After level four, the value of the potential at the minimum starts oscillating around a nonzero negative value, in contrast with the…

We develop an asymptotical control theory for one of the simplest distributed oscillating systems, namely, for a closed string under a bounded load applied to a single distinguished point. We find exact classes of string states that admit…

The Coulomb drag between two spatially separated, 2 \mu m long lithographically defined quantum wires has been studied experimentally in the absence of interwire tunneling. The drag resistance R_D shows peaks when the 1D subband bottoms of…

All known examples of four dimensional quantum field theories with asymptotic freedom or asymptotic safety at weak coupling involve non-abelian gauge interactions. We demonstrate that this is not a coincidence: no weakly coupled fixed…

The relationship between the nonperturbative Green's functions of Yang-Mills theory and the confinement potential is investigated. By rewriting the generating functional of quantum chromodynamics in terms of a heavy quark mass expansion in…

The confinement of electromagnetic field is studied in axial symmetrical, warped, 6D World Brane, using a recently proposed topological abelian string vortex solution as background. It was found, that the massless gauge field fluctuations…

We study the lowest-order modifications of the static potential for Born-Infeld electrodynamics and for the $\theta$-expanded version of the noncommutative U(1) gauge theory, within the framework of the gauge-invariant but path-dependent…

We study the continuum limit of the abelian string tension and the density of abelian monopoles calculated after carefully fixing the maximal abelian gauge by employing the simulated annealing algorithm. We present the evidence that the…

We analyze the Coulomb branch of Matrix string theory in the presence of NS5-branes. If we regard the components of U(1) gauge fields as the dualized longitudinal coordinates, we obtain the symmetric product of AdS_3 x S^3 x R^4 as the…

We study the Coulomb-branch sector of 3D $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories with half-hypermultiplets in general pseudoreal representations $\mathbf{R}$ ("noncotangent" theories). This yields (short) quantization of the Coulomb branch and…

The superstring theory in the light-cone gauge admits various gauge symmetries. Therefore, we gauge the superstring sigma model in the light-cone gauge under the gauge group SU(4). Some properties of the gauged action and the corresponding…
