A Note on Graviton Amplitudes for New Twistor String Theories
V. P. Nair
A new class of twistor string theories were recently constructed by Abou-Zeid, Hull and Mason. The most interesting one of these theories has the particle content of N=8 supergravi…
The robustness of the vacuum wave function and other matters for Yang-Mills theory
Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair
In the first part of this paper, we present a set of simple arguments to show that the two-dimensional gauge anomaly and the (2+1)-dimensional Lorentz symmetry determine the leadin…
Yang-Mills Theory in 2+1 Dimensions: Coupling of Matter Fields and String-breaking Effects
Abhishek Agarwal, Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair
We explore further the Hamiltonian formulation of Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions in terms of gauge-invariant matrix variables. Coupling to scalar matter fields is discussed in…
Gauge-invariant variables, WZW models and (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
V. P. Nair
Recent progress in understanding (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills (YM_{2+1}) theory via the use of gauge-invariant variables is reviewed. Among other things, we discuss the vacuum wave…
Three ideas on magnetic mass
V. P. Nair
Three topics, the self-consistent resummation of the perturbative expansion for thermal Yang-Mills (YM) theory, nonperturbative analysis of Yang-Mills theories in (2+1) dimensions…
Chern-Simons and WZNW Theories and the Quark-Gluon Plasma
V. P. Nair
Summation over hard thermal loops, by themselves and as insertions in higher order Feynman diagrams, is important in thermal perturbation theory for Quantum Chromodynamics, so that…
