Towards a Proof of Mass Gap in 3d Yang-Mills Theory
V. P. Nair
We give the outlines of a proof for the existence of a mass gap for the 3d Yang-Mills theory in terms of an inequality on the eigenvalues of the Laplacian on the gauge-invariant co…
The Schrödinger Representation and 3d Gauge Theories
V. P. Nair
In this review we consider the Hamiltonian analysis of Yang-Mills theory and some variants of it in three spacetime dimensions using the Schrödinger representation. This representa…
Transport coefficients for higher dimensional quantum Hall effect
Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair
An effective action for the bulk dynamics of quantum Hall effect in arbitrary even spatial dimensions was obtained some time ago in terms of a Chern-Simons term associated with the…
Eductions of Edge Mode Effects
V. P. Nair
Edge modes in gauge theories, whose raison d'etre is in the nature of the test functions used for imposing the Gauss law, have implications in many physical contexts. I discuss two…
Remarks on Entanglement for Fuzzy Geometry and Gravity
V. P. Nair
We consider defining a fuzzy space by a specific state in a fermionic field theory in terms of which all the observables for the space can be evaluated. This allows for a definitio…
Fractional topological charge in gauge theories without dynamical quarks
V. P. Nair, Robert D. Pisarski
In gauge theories without dynamical quarks, we discuss how configurations with fractional topological charge, , can arise in the vacuum and dominate in the confin…
