Let $M$ be pseudo-Riemannian homogeneous Einstein manifold of finite volume, and suppose a connected Lie group $G$ acts transitively and isometrically on $M$. In this situation, the metric on $M$ induces a bilinear form…

We show that the noncommutative Yang-Mills field forms an irreducible representation of the (undeformed) Lie algebra of rigid translations, rotations and dilatations. The noncommutative Yang-Mills action is invariant under combined…

We show that a necessary condition, for the partition function of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory to satisfy a S-duality property, is that certain functional determinants, generated by the dual change of variables, cancel each other.…

We calculate the leading weak-coupling instanton contribution to the moduli-space metric of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with gauge group SU(2) compactified on R^3 x S^1. The results are in precise agreement with the semiclassical…

We establish an abstract critical point theorem for locally Lipschitz functionals that does not require any compactness condition of Palais-Smale type. It generalizes and unifies three other critical point theorems established in…

We observe that the main feature of the Randall-Sundrum model, used to solve the hierarchy problem, is already present in a class of Yang-Mills plus gravity theories inspired by noncommutative geometry. Strikingly the same expression for…

Using spinorial geometry techniques, we classify the supersymmetric solutions of euclidean ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory. These backgrounds represent generalizations of instantons with nontrivial scalar fields turned on, and satisfy…

We prove the existence of at least $cl(M)$ periodic orbits for certain time dependant Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of an arbitrary compact manifold $M$. These Hamiltonians are not necessarily convex but they satisfy a certain…

Inspired by F. Wilczek's QCD Lite, quantum Yang-Mills-Weyl Dynamics (YMWD) describes quantum interaction between gauge bosons (associated with a simple compact gauge Lie group $\mathbb{G}$) and larks (massless chiral fields colored by an…

We consider Yang--Mills theory with a compact structure group $G$ on four-dimensional de Sitter space dS$_4$. Using conformal invariance, we transform the theory from dS$_4$ to the finite cylinder ${\cal I}\times S^3$, where ${\cal…

Let $Y$ be a closed $3$-manifold such that all flat $SU(2)$-connections on $Y$ are $non$-$degenerate$. In this article, we prove a Uhlenbeck-type compactness theorem on $Y$ for stable flat $SL(2,\mathbb{C})$ connections satisfying an…

We formulate a sufficient condition for non-displaceability (by Hamiltonian symplectomorphisms which are identity outside of a compact) of a pair of subsets in a cotangent bundle. This condition is based on micro-local analysis of sheaves…

Let G be a finitely generated group having the property that any action of any finite-index subgroup of G by homeomorphisms of the circle must have a finite orbit. (By a theorem of E.Ghys, lattices in simple Lie groups of real rank at least…

Sengupta's lower bound for the Yang-Mills action on smooth connections on a bundle over a Riemann surface generalizes to the space of connections whose action is finite. In this larger space the inequality can always be saturated. The…

We formulate some global invertibility and implicit function theorems. We extend the result of Idczak, Skowron and Walczak on the invertibility of the operators to the case of the operators with critical points. The proof relies on the…

We consider Euclidean SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on the space GxR, where G is a compact semisimple Lie group, and introduce first-order BPS-type equations which imply the full Yang-Mills equations. For gauge fields invariant under the adjoint…

We study N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory with gauge group SU(2) compactified to three dimensions on a circle of circumference beta. The eight fermion terms in the effective action on the Coulomb branch are determined exactly, for…

We define a conformally invariant action S on gauge connections on a closed pseudo-Riemannian manifold M of dimension 6. At leading order this is quadratic in the gauge connection. The Euler-Lagrange equations of S, with respect to…

Addressing Yau's conjecture (Problem 117) on $S^4$, we investigate the self-duality of weakly stable Yang-Mills fields under the assumption of irreducibility. For structure groups with a simple Lie algebra, we prove that any weakly stable…

We are concerned with a super-Liouville equation on compact surfaces with genus larger than one, obtaining the first non-trivial existence result for this class of problems via min-max methods. In particular we make use of a Nehari manifold…
