Gauge invariance and mass gap in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

In terms of a gauge-invariant matrix parametrization of the fields, we give an analysis of how the mass gap could arise in non-Abelian gauge theories in two spatial dimensions.

On Non-Abelian Thomas-Fermi Screening

G. Alexanian, V. P. Nair

The Thomas-Fermi screening of non-Abelian gauge fields by fermions or screening of gluon fields in quark matter is discussed. It is described by an effective mass term which is, as…

Non Abelian Bosonization in Two and Three Dimensions

J. C. Le Guillou, E. Moreno, C. Nunez +1

We discuss non-Abelian bosonization of two and three dimensional fermions using a path-integral framework in which the bosonic action follows from the evaluation of the fermion det…

Recursion Rules for Scattering Amplitudes in Non-Abelian Gauge Theories

Chanju Kim, V. P. Nair

We present a functional derivation of recursion rules for scattering amplitudes in a non-Abelian gauge theory in a form valid to arbitrary loop order. The tree-level and one-loop r…

A Note on the Stability of Quantum Supermembranes

Michio Kaku

We re-examine the question of the stability of quantum supermembranes. In the past, the instability of supermembranes was established by using a regulator, i.e. approximating the m…

Collective Variables of Fermions and Bosonization

B. Sakita

We first present a general method for extracting collective variables out of non-relativistic fermions by extending the gauge theory of collective coordinates to fermionic systems.…

How Unstable Are Fundamental Quantum Supermembranes?

Michio Kaku

String duality requires the presence of solitonic -branes. By contrast, the existence of fundamental supermembranes is problematic, since they are probably unstable. In this pap…

W_\infty and w_\infty Gauge Theories and Contraction

An. Kavalov, B. Sakita

We present a general method of constructing Winf and winf gauge theories in terms of d+2 dimensional local fields. In this formulation the \Winf gauge theory Lagrangians involve no…

Duality in deformed coset fermionic models

D. C. Cabra, E. F. Moreno

We study the -parafermion model perturbed by its first thermal operator. By formulating the theory in terms of a (perturbed) fermionic coset model we show that the mo…

On the origin of the mass gap for non-Abelian gauge theories in (2+1) dimensions

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair

An analysis of how the mass gap could arise in pure Yang-Mills theories in two spatial dimensions is given
