Vortices and confinement at weak coupling
Tamas G. Kovacs, E. T. Tomboulis
We discuss the physical picture of thick vortices as the mechanism responsible for confinement at arbitrarily weak coupling in SU(2) gauge theory. By introducing appropriate variab…

Z(2) vortices and the string tension in SU(2) gauge theory
Tamas G. Kovacs, E. T. Tomboulis
We exhibit the appropriate variables allowing the plus-minus (Z(2)) `reduction' of the Wilson loop operator which provides a direct measure of the thin, thick and `mixed' Z(2) topo…

Superrenormalizable gauge and gravitational theories
E. T. Tomboulis
We investigate 4-dim gauge theories and gravitational theories with nonpolynomial actions containing an infinite series in covariant derivatives of the fields representing the expa…
