Let M be a manifold with Grassmann structure, i.e. with an isomorphism of the cotangent bundle T^*M\cong E\otimes H with the tensor product of two vector bundles E and H. We define the notion of a half-flat connection \nabla^W in a vector…

We survey several mathematical developments in the holonomy approach to gauge theory. A cornerstone of this approach is the introduction of group structures on spaces of based loops on a smooth manifold, relying on certain homotopy…

Electromagnetism can be generalized to Yang-Mills theory by replacing the group U(1)$ by a nonabelian Lie group. This raises the question of whether one can similarly generalize 2-form electromagnetism to a kind of "higher-dimensional…

We present an integral formulation of classical Yang-Mills theory coupled to fermionic and scalar matter fields in (1+1)-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. By reformulating the local dynamics in terms of loop-space holonomies, we demonstrate…

We propose $N=2$ holomorphic Yang-Mills theory on compact K\"{a}hler manifolds and show that there exists a simple mapping from the $N=2$ topological Yang-Mills theory. It follows that intersection parings on the moduli space of…

Let X be a complex manifold. The classical Riemann-Hilbert correspondence associates to a regular holonomic system M the C-constructible complex of its holomorphic solutions. Denote by t the affine coordinate in the complex projective line.…

We describe an effective method for calculating certain infinite sums, generalizations of the classical Bernoulli polynomials. As shown by Edward Witten in his papers on two-dimensional gauge theories, the correlation functions of…

We introduce the concept of general gauge theory which includes Yang-Mills models. In the framework of the causal approach and show that the anomalies can appear only in the vacuum sector of the identities obtained from the gauge invariance…

Integral calculus on the space of gauge equivalent connections is developed. Loops, knots, links and graphs feature prominently in this description. The framework is well--suited for quantization of diffeomorphism invariant theories of…

In this paper we consider the classification problem of extensions of Yang-Mills-type (YMT) theories. For us, a YMT theory differs from the classical Yang-Mills theories by allowing an arbitrary pairing on the curvature. The space of YMT…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, with Lie algebra $g$, $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ a principal $G$-bundle, let $N(\xi)$ denote the moduli space of central Yang-Mills connections on $\xi$, for suitably chosen…

Let $\Sigma$ be a closed surface, $G$ a compact Lie group, with Lie algebra $g$, and $\xi \colon P \to \Sigma$ a principal $G$-bundle. In earlier work we have shown that the moduli space $N(\xi)$ of central Yang- Mills connections, for…

It is proposed an integral formulation of classical Yang-Mills equations in the presence of sources, based on concepts in loop spaces and on a generalization of the non-abelian Stokes theorem for two-form connections. The formulation leads…

We construct and study the Yang-Mills measure in two dimensions. According to the informal description given by the physicists, it is a probability measure on the space of connections modulo gauge transformations on a principal bundle with…

The pull back of a flat bundle $E\rightarrow X$ along the evaluation map $\pi: \mathcal{L} X \to X$ from the free loop space $\mathcal{L} X$ to $X$ comes equipped with a canonical automorphism given by the holonomies of $E$. This…

We review our proposal to generalize the standard two-dimensional flatness construction of Lax-Zakharov-Shabat to relativistic field theories in d+1 dimensions. The fundamentals from the theory of connections on loop spaces are presented…

The first and shorter part of this thesis deals with the structural assumption of invertibility in a Lie groupoid. When this assumption is dropped, we obtain the notion of a Lie category: a small category, endowed with a compatible…

Our aim in this work is to study a system of equations which generalises at the same time the vortex equations of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory and the holomorphicity equation in Gromov theory of pseudoholomorphic curves. We extend some results…

An explicit canonical transformation is constructed to relate the physical subspace of Yang-Mills theory to the phase space of the ADM variables of general relativity. This maps 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory to local evolution of…

Given a compact Lie group $G$, a reconstruction theorem for free $G$-manifolds is proved. As a by-product reconstruction results for locally trivial bundles are presented. Next, the main theorem is generalized to $G$-manifolds with one…
