A Euclidean Signature Semi-Classical Program
Antonella Marini, Rachel Maitra, Vincent Moncrief
In this article we discuss our ongoing program to extend the scope of certain, well-developed microlocal methods for the asymptotic solution of Schrödinger's equation (for suitable…

Orbit Space Curvature as a Source of Mass in Quantum Gauge Theory
Vincent Moncrief, Antonella Marini, Rachel Maitra
It has long been realized that the natural orbit space for non-abelian Yang-Mills dynamics is a positively curved (infinite dimensional) Riemannian manifold. Expanding on this resu…

Gauge-invariant ground state for canonically quantized Yang-Mills theory
Rachel Lash Maitra
We use Hamilton-Jacobi theory to construct a gauge-invariant zero-energy candidate ground state for canonically quantized Yang-Mills theory with a "nonlinear normal" factor orderin…
