A Note on Schwinger Mechanism and a Nonabelian Instability in a Nonabelian Plasma

V. P. Nair, Alexandr Yelnikov

We point out that there is a nonabelian instability for a nonabelian plasma which does not allow both for a net nonzero color charge and the existence of field configurations which…

The Hamiltonian Approach to Yang-Mills (2+1): An Expansion Scheme and Corrections to String Tension

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair, Alexandr Yelnikov

We carry out further analysis of the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions which helps to place the calculation of the vacuum wave function and the string ten…

On the spectrum of pure Yang-Mills theory

Laurent Freidel, Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic +1

In this note we discuss the wave functional approach to the spectrum of pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions by highlighting the issues of dynamical mass generation and…

On The Spectrum of Yang-Mills Theory in 2+1 Dimensions, Analytically

R. G. Leigh, D. Minic, A. Yelnikov

We review our recent work on the glueball spectrum of pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions. The calculations make use of Karabali-Nair corner variables in the Hamiltonian forma…

On the Glueball Spectrum of Pure Yang-Mills Theory in 2+1 Dimensions

Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic, Alexandr Yelnikov

We present details of the analytic computation of the spectrum of lowest spin glueballs in pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions. The new ingredient is provided by the conjectur…

Solving Pure Yang Mills in 2+1 Dimensions

Robert G. Leigh, Djordje Minic, Alexandr Yelnikov

We analytically compute the spectrum of the spin zero glueballs in the planar limit of pure Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions. The new ingredient is provided by our computation o…
