We compute the one-loop vacuum energy in 10 dimensional (10D) super Yang-Mills theory compactified on $\mathbb{R}^{1,3}\times (\mathbb{T}^2)^3$ in the presence of the Abelian magnetic fluxes. The regularization of infinite Kaluza-Klein (KK)…

We measure the vacuum energy of two-dimensional N=(2,2) super Yang-Mills theory using lattice simulation. The obtained vacuum energy density is E_0=0.09(9)(+10-8) g^2, where the first error is the systematic and the second is the…

We calculate the energy of a Yang-Mills vortex as function of its magnetic flux or, else, of the Wilson loop surrounding the vortex center. The calculation is performed in the 1-loop approximation. A parallel with a potential as function of…

We calculate the vacuum energy for Yang--Mills (YM) system in the background space-time $M^4 \times S^3$, taking the effect of self-interaction of the YM fields into account. The compactification scale obtained by Candelas--Weinberg…

In this paper we evaluate the self-energy of the vector mesons at one loop in our recently proposed subtraction scheme for massive nonlinearly realized SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. We check the fulfillment of physical unitarity. The resulting…

We propose an approximation to the ground state of Yang-Mills theory, quantized in temporal gauge and 2+1 dimensions, which satisfies the Yang-Mills Schrodinger equation in both the free-field limit, and in a strong-field zero mode limit.…

Ratios of the true Yang-Mills vacuum wavefunctional, evaluated on any two field configurations out of a finite set of configurations, can be obtained from lattice Monte Carlo simulations. The method was applied some years ago to test…

The vacuum energy of a conformally coupled scalar field on the d-dimensional sphere is calculated. On even spheres it is zero and on odd spheres it oscillates in sign. Results for the d-torus and d-cube are also given.

Vacuum energies are computed in light-cone field theories to obtain effective potentials which determine vacuum condensate. Quantization surfaces interpolating between the light-like surface and the usual spatial one are useful to define…

For fields that vary slowly on the scale of the lightest mass the logarithm of the vacuum functional can be expanded as a sum of local functionals. For Yang-Mills theory the leading term in the expansion dominates large distance effects and…

The spacetime dependent lagrangian formalism of references [1-2] is used to obtain is used to obtain a classical solution of Yang-Mills theory. This is then used to obtain an estimate of the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field,{\it…

I present a novel analytic framework for $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in the four-dimensional continuum. Background and effective field theory techniques are used to include non-perturbative contributions from cubic and quartic interactions.…

We discuss the weight of vacuum energy in various contexts. First, we compute the vacuum energy for flat spacetimes of the form $\mathbb{T}^3 \times \mathbb{R}$, where $\mathbb{T}^3$ stands for a general 3-torus. We discover a quite simple…

Working in a Hamiltonian formulation with $A_0 = 0$ gauge and also in a path integral formulation, we show that the vacuum wave functional of four-dimensional pure Yang-Mills theory has the form of the exponential of a {\it…

The free energy in the weak-coupling phase of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on a sphere for SO(N) and Sp(N) is evaluated in the 1/N expansion using the techniques of Gross and Matytsin. Many features of Yang-Mills theory are universal…

We study an ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory defined on $M^4\times S^1$. The vacuum expectation values for adjoint scalar field in vector multiplet, though important, has been overlooked in evaluating one-loop effective…

We apply a `dimensional reduction' mechanism to the evaluation of the functional integral for the vacuum energy of a real scalar field in the presence of non-trivial backgrounds, in d+1 dimensions. The reduction is implemented by applying a…

For small values of the gauge coupling constant, we compare the densities of the energy of the vacuum and of the order parameter, evaluated in the lattice Monte Carlo simulation and in the perturbative field theory at two loop (Minkowski).…

Yang-Mills theory is studied at finite temperature within the Hamiltonian approach in Coulomb gauge by means of the variational principle using a Gaussian type ansatz for the vacuum wave functional. Temperature is introduced by…

In seeking a model solving the coincidence problem, the effective Yang-Mills condensate (YMC) is an alternative candidate for dark energy. A study is made for the model up to the 2-loop order of quantum corrections. It is found that, like…
