We apply the formalism of extended BRS symmetry to the investigation of the gauge dependence of the effective potential in a spontaneously symmetry broken gauge theory. This formalism, which includes a set of Grassmann parameters defined as…
The success of the screened massive expansion is investigated in the framework of a screened momentum-subtraction scheme for the running of the strong coupling in pure Yang-Mills theory. By the exact Slavnov-Taylor and Nielsen identities, a…
In a generic gauge theory the gauge parameter dependence of individual Green functions is controlled by the Nielsen identities, which originate from an enlarged BRST symmetry. We give a practical introduction to the Nielsen identities of…
A general formal derivation of the screened massive expansion is provided by Schwinger-Dyson equations. Some known issues of the expansion are clarified and a more general framework is established for a natural extension of the method to…
We present some comments concerning the validity of the Nielsen identities for renormalizable theories quantized in general linear covariant gauges in a context of compact gauge Lie groups.
In this paper we study the Nielsen identity for the supersymmetric Chern-Simons-matter model in the superfield formalism, in three spacetime dimensions. The Nielsen identity is essential to understand the gauge invariance of the symmetry…
We study renormalization of identities governing the dependence of 1PI Green's functions on gauge-fixing parameters. For general dimensionally regularized Yang-Mills theories with gauge groups being direct products of arbitrary compact…
We provide the reformulations of Yang-Mills theories in terms of gauge invariant metric-like variables in three and four dimensions. The reformulations are used to analyze the dimension two gluon condensate and give gauge invariant…
Massive Yang-Mills theory is known to be renormalizable in 1+1 dimensions. The gluon mass is introduced by coupling the gauge field to an SU(N) principal chiral nonlinear sigma model. The proof of renormalizability relies on the asymptotic…
The study of Yang-Mills theories in three dimensions is an insightful playground to grasp important features for the four-dimensional case. Additionally, in three dimensions, the Chern-Simons term can be introduced with a mass parameter of…
I briefly review some general features and some recent developments concerning the resummation of long-distance singularities in QCD and in more general non-abelian gauge theories. I emphasize the field-theoretical tools of the trade, and…
We show that it is possible, in opposition to a previous conjecture, to derive a Nielsen identity for the effective action in the case of the generalized $R_\xi $-gauge, where the gauge function explicitly depends on the gauge parameter…
The dynamical mass generation for gluons is discussed in Euclidean Yang-Mills theories supplemented with a renormalizable mass term. The mass parameter is not free, being determined in a self-consistent way through a gap equation which…

We study the question of complete gauge independence of the fermion pole mass by choosing a general class of gauge fixing which interpolates between the covariant, the axial and the Coulomb gauges for different values of the gauge fixing…
The large-N limit of the two-dimensional non-local U$(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on an orientable and non-orientable surface with boundaries is studied. For the case which the holonomies of the gauge group on the boundaries are near the…
We exhibit the gauge-group independence (``universality'') of all normalized non-intersecting Wilson loop expectation values in the large N limit of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. This universality is most easily understood via the…
A manifestly invariant renormalization scheme of N=1 nonabelian supersymmetric gauge theories is proposed.
We examine the restoration of the residual gauge symmetry in the Yang-Mills theory to be regarded as a confinement criterion. For this purpose we restrict the four-dimensional $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills instantons to those with spatial spherical…
We consider Yang-Mills theory in a general class of Abelian gauges. Exploiting the residual Abelian symmetry on a quantum level, we derive a set of Ward identities in functional form, valid to all orders in perturbation theory. As a…
