Ghost Hunting in the Yang-Mills Vacuum
Seth Grable
In this work, I analyze the zero modes of a one-loop semiclassical Yang-Mills theory in \(3+1\)d. I find that zero modes are generated by gauge redundancy of the background field.…

Scalar Charges in a Self-Dual Background
Seth Grable, Jamison Barcelona
In this work, we present a \(3+1d\) scalar QED model in a constant self-dual magnetic field configuration. We provide exact closed form analytic calculations of the partition funct…

An Analytic Yang-Mills Vacuum Calculation in
Seth Grable
I present a novel analytic framework for Yang-Mills theory in the four-dimensional continuum. Background and effective field theory techniques are used to include non-pertu…
