Compact QED - a simple example of a variational calculation in a gauge theory
Ian I. Kogan, Alex Kovner
We apply a simple mean field like variational calculation to compact QED in 2+1 dimensions. Our variational ansatz explicitly preserves compact gauge invariance of the theory. We r…

Fermionic Operators from Bosonic Fields in 3+1 Dimensions
A. Kovner, B. Rosenstein
We present a construction of fermionic operators in 3+1 dimensions in terms of bosonic fields in the framework of . The basic bosonic variables are the electric fields …

A variational approach to the QCD wave functional:Dynamical mass generation and confinement
Ian I. Kogan, Alex Kovner
We perform a variational calculation in the SU(N) Yang Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions. Our trial variational states are explicitly gauge invariant, and reduce to simple Gaussian st…
