Since the inception of lattice QCD, a natural definition for the Yang-Mills instanton on lattice has been long sought for. In a recent work, one of authors showed the natural solution has to be organized in terms of bundle gerbes in higher…

The exact solution of $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory is studied in the framework of the Whitham hierarchies. The solution is identified with a homogeneous solution of a Whitham hierarchy. This integrable hierarchy…

At a generic point in the moduli space of vacua of an N=4 supersymmetric gauge theory with arbitrary gauge group the Higgs force does not cancel the magneto-static force between magnetic monopoles of distinct charge. As a consequence the…

We consider the semiclassical description of confinement for $4$d $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on small $\mathbb{R}^2\times T^2$ with non-minimal 't Hooft twist $p$ with $\gcd(N,p)=1$. For this purpose, we construct the self-dual center vortex…

We construct static axially symmetric solutions of SU(2) Einstein-Yang-Mills-dilaton theory. Like their spherically symmetric counterparts, these solutions are nonsingular and asymptotically flat. The solutions are characterized by the…

Self-dual Yang-Mills and Einstein gravity in Euclidean AdS$_4$ are useful toy models because they can be described by simple scalar Lagrangians exhibiting a new manifestation of the colour/kinematics duality, as recently shown by two of the…

The self-duality equations for gauge fields in pseudoeuclidean spaces of eight and seven dimensions are considered. Some new classes of solutions of the equations are found.

We show that a class of previously defined maps, called self-dual and causal morphisms, form classical symmetries of Yang-Mills fields in four complex dimensions. These maps generalize conformal transformations, and admit a nonlocal…

Two-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is endowed with a non-trivial vacuum structure (k-sectors). The presence of k-sectors modifies the energy spectrum of the theory and its instanton content, the (Euclidean) space-time being…

It is shown that all the (p,q) dyon bound states exist and are unique in N=4 and N=2 with four massless flavours supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theories, where p and q are any relatively prime integers. The proof can be understood in the…

We investigate Lie symmetries of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations in four-dimensional Euclidean space (SDYM). The first prolongation of the symmetry generating vector fields is written down, and its action on SDYM computed. Determining…

A model for the infrared sector of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, based on magnetic vortex degrees of freedom represented by (closed) random world-surfaces, is presented. The model quantitatively describes both the confinement properties…

Infinite-dimensional algebras of hidden symmetries of the self-dual Yang-Mills equations are considered. A current-type algebra of symmetries and an affine extension of conformal symmetries introduced recently are discussed using the…

't Hooft construction of free energy, electric and magnetic fluxes, and of the partition function with twisted boundary conditions, is extended to the case of $N=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories based on arbitrary compact, simple Lie…

The regularity of static axially symmetric solutions in SU(2) Yang-Mills-dilaton theory is examined. We show that the solutions obtained previously within a singular Ansatz for the non-abelian gauge field can be gauge transformed into a…

Several results on existence and convergence of the Yang-Mills flow in dimension four are given. We show that a singularity modeled on an instanton cannot form within finite time. Given low initial self-dual energy, we then study…

SU(4) Einstein-Yang-Mills theory possesses sequences of static spherically symmetric globally regular and black hole solutions. Considering solutions with a purely magnetic gauge field, based on the 4-dimensional embedding of $su(2)$ in…

The thermodynamics of $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in the covariant variational approach is studied by relating the free action density in the background of a non-trivial Polyakov loop to the pressure of the gluon plasma. The correct…

Yang-Mills fields are an important part of the non-Abelian space theory describing the properties of quark-gluon plasma. The dynamics of the classical fields are given by the Hamiltonian equations of motion, which contain the member of the…

We construct the n-instanton action for the above model with gauge group SU(2), as a function of the collective coordinates of the general self-dual configurations of Atiyah, Drinfeld, Hitchin and Manin (ADHM). We calculate the quantum…
