A search for supersymmetry anomalies requires an examination of the BRS cohomology of supersymmetric Yang-Mills coupled to chiral matter, and the physically interesting (on-shell) anomalies are those which cannot be eliminated using the…
Yang-Mills models with compact gauge group coupled to matter fields are considered. The general tools developed in a companion paper are applied to compute the local cohomology of the BRST differential $s$ modulo the exterior spacetime…
We consider noncommutative {\cal N}=4 supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills theory. Using the {\cal N}=1 superfield formalism and the background field method we compute one-loop four point contributions to the effective action and compare the…
We quantize abelian Yang-Mills theory on Riemannian manifolds with boundaries in any dimension. The quantization proceeds in two steps. First, the classical theory is encoded into an axiomatic form describing solution spaces associated to…
The anomalous Ward-Takahashi identity for the superconformal symmetry in the four-dimensional N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory is studied in terms of the stochastic quantization method (SQM). By applying the background field method to…
The quantum symmetry of many \LG\ orbifolds appears to be broken by Yang-Mills instantons. However, isolated Yang-Mills instantons are not solutions of string theory: They must be accompanied by gauge anti-instantons, gravitational…
We present the mathematical considerations which determine all gauge invariant actions and anomaly candidates in gauge theories of standard type such as ordinary or gravitational Yang Mills theories. Starting from elementary concepts of…
We construct a quantum theory of free fermion field based on the generalized uncertainty principle using supersymmetry as a guiding principle. A supersymmetric field theory with a real scalar field and a Majorana fermion field is given…
The concept of discrepancy plays an important role in the study of uniformity properties of point sets. For sets of random points, the discrepancy is a random variable. We apply techniques from quantum field theory to translate the problem…
Numerical solutions of the Einstein-Yang-Mills equations with a negative cosmological constant are constructed. These axially symmetric solutions approach asymptotically the anti-de Sitter spacetime and are regular everywhere. They are…
The coupled Einstein-Yang-Mills equations on a time dependent axially symmetric spacetime are investigated, without a priori any conditions on the gauge field. There is numerical evidence for the existence of a regular solution with the…
We extend the general framework of perturbative quantum field theory developped for the pure Yang-Mills model to gravity. First we present a variant of the elimination procedure of the anomalies in the second order of perturbation theory.…
It is observed that the shifted Poisson structure (antibracket) on the solution complex of Klein-Gordon and linear Yang-Mills theory on globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds admits retarded/advanced trivializations (analogs of…
I review results from recent investigations of anomalies in fermion--Yang Mills systems in which basic notions from noncommutative geometry (NCG) where found to naturally appear. The general theme is that derivations of anomalies from…
Topological Yang-Mills theory with the Belavin-Polyakov-Schwarz-Tyupkin $SU(2)$ instanton is solved completely, revealing an underlying multi-link intersection theory. Link invariants are also shown to survive the coupling to a certain kind…
Supersymmetry and Yang-Mills type gauge invariance are two of the essential properties of most, and possibly the most important models in fundamental physics. Supersymmetry is nearly trivial to prove in the (traditionally…
Supersymmetric theories in four dimensions with chiral superfields have very rich BRS cohomology, which gives rise to potential anomalies in theories that contain composite antichiral spinor superfields. Assuming the coefficients are…
We discuss consistency at the quantum level in the rigid $\mathcal N=1$ supersymmetric field theories with a $U(1)_R$ symmetry in four-dimensional curved space which are formulated via coupling to the new-minimal supergravity background…
A discussion of different criteria of consistency of quantum field theory from the point of view of physics and mathematics.
Mixed anomalies, higher form symmetries, two-group symmetries and non-invertible symmetries have proved to be useful in providing non-trivial constraints on the dynamics of quantum field theories. We study mixed anomalies involving discrete…
