Cohomology and Renormalization of BFYM Theory in three Dimensions

Alberto Accardi, Andrea Belli, Maurizio Martellini +1

The first order formalism for 3D Yang-Mills theory is considered and two different formulations are introduced, in which the gauge theory appears to be a deformation of the topolog…

Feynman rules and beta-function for the BF Yang-Mills Theory

Maurizio Martellini, Mauro Zeni

Yang-Mills theory in the first order formalism appears as the deformation of a topological field theory, the pure BF theory. We discuss this formulation at the quantum level, givin…

Non Local Observables and Confinement in BF Formulation of Yang-Mills Theory

Francesco Fucito, Maurizio Martellini, Mauro Zeni

The vev's of the magnetic order-disorder operators in QCD are found in an explicit calculation using the first order formulation of Yang-Mills theory.

The BF Formalism for Yang-Mills Theory and the `t Hooft Algebra

Maurizio Martellini, Mauro Zeni

The deformation of a topological field theory, namely the pure BF theory, gives the first order formulation of Yang-Mills theory; Feynman rules are given and the standard uv-behavi…

A New Nonperturbative Approach to QCD by BF Theory

Maurizio Martellini, Mauro Zeni, Francesco Fucito

Yang-Mills theory in the first order formalism appears as the deformation of a topological field theory, the pure BF theory. In this approach new non local observables are inherite…

Explicit Construction of Yang-Mills Instantons on ALE Spaces

Massimo Bianchi, Francesco Fucito, Maurizio Martellini +1

We describe the explicit construction of Yang-Mills instantons on ALE spaces, following the work of Kronheimer and Nakajima. For multicenter ALE metrics, we determine the abelian i…
