Using differential renormalization, we calculate the complete two-point function of the background gauge superfield in pure N=1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to two loops. Ultraviolet and (off-shell) infrared divergences are renormalized…
The partition function of four dimensional Euclidean, non-supersymmetric SU(2) Yang--Mills theory is calculated in the perturbative and weak coupling regime i.e. in a small open ball about the flat connection (what we call the vicinity of…
The high-temperature phase of Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge is studied using Dyson-Schwinger equations. The propagators of the gluon and the Faddeev-Popov ghosts are obtained at finite and infinite temperature, partially analytically.…
The beta function of the multichannel Kondo model is calculated exactly in the limit of large spin N and channel number M=gamma*N, with constant gamma. There are no corrections in any finite order of 1/N. One zero is found at a finite…
The traditional thermodynamic Bethe ansatz (TBA) equations for the XXZ model at $|\Delta|\ge 1$ are derived within the quantum transfer matrix (QTM) method. This provides further evidence of the equivalence of both methods. Most…
We demonstrate the effectivity of the covariant background field method by means of an explicit calculation of the 3-loop beta-function for a pure Yang-Mills theory. To maintain manifest background invariance throughout our calculation, we…
The evaluation of effective potentials is critical for a range of phenomenological applications, including inflation, vacuum stability, and phase transitions. A drawback arises from the gauge-dependence of the effective potential.…
A detailed investigation of the temperature dependence of the spatial string tension $\sigma_s$ in $SU(2)$ gauge theory is presented. A sustained performance of 3~GFLOPS on a 64K Connection Machine CM-2 equivalent has been achieved. Scaling…
Coulomb blockade thermometers (CBTs) are versatile and, in principle, primary thermometers operating down to the micro-Kelvin range but bias heating spoils the thermometry and the primary mode. Here, we introduce a method to extract the CBT…
Effective-field-theory methods are used to separate the free energy for a nonabelian gauge theory at high temperature $T$ into the contributions from the momentum scales $T$, $gT$, and $g^2T$, where $g$ is the coupling constant at the scale…
We consider four-dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills theories quantized in the maximal Abelian and linear covariant gauges at finite temperature. Non-perturbatively, the Faddeev-Popov procedure must be improved to take into account the…
We construct local solutions to the Yang-Mills heat flow (in the DeTurck gauge) for a certain class of random distributional initial data, which includes the 3D Gaussian free field. The main idea, which goes back to work of Bourgain as well…
We consider a one-dimensional gas of positive and negative unit charges interacting via a logarithmic potential, which is in thermal equilibrium at the (dimensionless) inverse temperature $\beta$. In a previous paper [Samaj, L.: J. Stat.…
A modification of the gauge theory is proposed, in which the set of generalized coordinates is supplemented with symmetry transformation parameters, and a condition is additionally imposed on the latter that ensures the classical character…
We investigate the topological properties of the $SU(3)$ pure gauge theory by performing numerical simulations at imaginary values of the $\theta$ parameter. By monitoring the dependence of various cumulants of the topological charge…
A prescription is presented for real-time finite-temperature perturbation theory in covariant gauges, in which only the two physical degrees of freedom of the gauge-field propagator acquire thermal parts. The propagators for the unphysical…
Conditional probability density functional theory has recently been used to derive the temperature dependence of the Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) generalized gradient approximation (GGA) for the exchange-correlation (XC) free energy. We…
A recently developed variational resummation technique, incorporating renormalization group properties consistently, has been shown to solve the scale dependence problem that plagues the evaluation of thermodynamical quantities, e.g.,…
Based on the trace anomaly for the energy-momentum tensor, an effective theory for the thermodynamics of the deconfining phase, and by assuming the asymptotic behavior to be determined by one-loop perturbation theory we compute the…
The properties of the high-temperature phase of Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge are investigated by extending an earlier study on the infinite-temperature limit to finite temperatures. To this end the Dyson-Schwinger equations for the…
