Gauge Invariant

Standard functional manipulations have been proven to imply a remarkable property satisfied by the fermionic Green’s functions of QCD and dubbed effective locality. Resulting from a full gauge invariant summation of the gauge field degrees of freedom, effective locality is a non-perturbative property of QCD. This unexpected result has lead to suspect that the famous Gribov copy problem had been somewhat overlooked. It is argued that it is not so. The analysis is conducted in the strong coupling limit, relevant to the Gribov problem.

Background Fields

A joint introduction of composite and background fields into non-Abelian quantum gauge theories is suggested based on the symmetries of the generating functional of Green’s functions, with the systematic analysis focused on quantum Yang–Mills theories, including the properties of the generating functional of vertex Green’s functions (effective action). For the effective action in such theories, gauge dependence is found in terms of a nilpotent operator with composite and background fields, and on-shell independence from gauge fixing is established. The basic concept of a joint introduction of composite and background fields into non-Abelian gauge theories is extended to the Volovich–Katanaev model of two-dimensional gravity with dynamical torsion, as well as to the Gribov–Zwanziger theory.

Invariant Integration

About ten years ago, the use of standard functional manipulations was demonstrated to imply an unexpected property satisfied by the fermionic Green’s functions of QCD and dubbed Effective Locality. This feature of QCD is non-perturbative, as it results from a full gauge invariant integration of the gluonic degrees of freedom. In this review article, a few salient theoretical aspects and phenomenological applications of this property are summarized.

We study a dependence of Green's functions for the Curci–Ferrari model on the parameter resembling the gauge parameter in massless Yang–Mills theories. It is shown that the on-shell generating functional of vertex functions (effective action) depends on this parameter.

Chiral Superfields

The multiplets that occur in four-dimensional rigidly supersymmetric theories can be described either by chiral superfields in Minkowski superspace or analytic superfields in harmonic superspace. The superconformal Ward identities for Green's functions of gauge-invariant operators of these types are derived. It is shown that there are no chiral superconformal invariants. It is further shown that Green's functions of analytic operators in harmonic superspace are severely restricted by the superconformal Ward identities when internal analyticity is taken into account.
