The Hamiltonian Approach to Yang-Mills (2+1): An Expansion Scheme and Corrections to String Tension

Dimitra Karabali, V. P. Nair, Alexandr Yelnikov

We carry out further analysis of the Hamiltonian approach to Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions which helps to place the calculation of the vacuum wave function and the string ten…

Manifest covariance and the Hamiltonian approach to mass gap in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory

D. Karabali, C. Kim, V. P. Nair

In earlier work we have given a Hamiltonian analysis of Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions showing how a mass gap could arise. In this paper, generalizing and covariantizing fro…

Gauge invariant variables and the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory

Dimitra Karabali, Chanju Kim, V. P. Nair

A Hamiltonian analysis of Yang-Mills (YM) theory in (2+1) dimensions with a level Chern-Simons term is carried out using a gauge invariant matrix parametrization of the potenti…

Planar Yang-Mills theory: Hamiltonian, regulators and mass gap

Dimitra Karabali, Chanju Kim, V. P. Nair

We carry out the Hamiltonian analysis of non-Abelian gauge theories in (2+1) dimensions in a gauge-invariant matrix parametrization of the fields. A detailed discussion of regulari…
