The construction of a consistent measure for Yang–Mills is a precondition for an accurate formulation of nonperturbative approaches to QCD, both analytical and numerical. Using projective limits as subsets of Cartesian products of homomorphisms from a lattice to the structure group, a consistent interaction measure and an infinite-dimensional calculus have been constructed for a theory of non-Abelian generalized connections on a hypercubic lattice. Here, after reviewing and clarifying past work, new results are obtained for the mass gap when the structure group is compact.

We study the Yang–Mills functional for principal fiber bundles with structure group a compact Lie group K over a Kähler manifold. In particular, we analyze the absolute minimizers for this functional and prove that they are exactly the Einstein K-connections. By means of the structure of the Yang–Mills functional at an absolute minimum, we prove that the characteristic classes of a principal K-bundle which admits an Einstein connection satisfy two inequalities. One of them is a generalization of the Bogomolov inequality whereas the other is an inequality related to the center of the structure group. Therefore, this way we offer a new and natural proof of the Bogomolov inequality that helps understanding its origin. Finally, in view of the Hitchin–Kobayashi correspondence we prove that every (poly-)stable principal Kℂ-bundle has to satisfy this generalized Bogomolov type inequality.

In this paper, we reduce the problem of quantization of the Yang–Mills field Hamiltonian to a problem for defining a probability measure on an infinite-dimensional space of gauge equivalence classes of connections on [Formula: see text]. We suggest a formally self-adjoint expression for the quantized Yang–Mills Hamiltonian as an operator on the corresponding Lebesgue [Formula: see text]-space. In the case when the Yang–Mills field is associated to the abelian group [Formula: see text], we define the probability measure which depends on two real parameters [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. This yields a non-standard quantization of the Hamiltonian of the electromagnetic field, and the associated probability measure is Gaussian. The corresponding quantized Hamiltonian is a self-adjoint operator in a Fock space the spectrum of which is [Formula: see text], i.e. it has a gap.

We announce a result about the extension of the Hitchin–Kobayashi correspondence to principal Higgs bundles. A principal Higgs bundle on a compact Kähler manifold, with structure group a connected linear algebraic reductive group, is semistable if and only if it admits an approximate Hermitian–Yang–Mills structure.

Let G be a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group and K ⊂ G a maximal compact subgroup. Let M be a compact complex torus equipped with a flat Kähler structure and (EG, θ) a polystable Higgs G-bundle on M. Take any C∞ reduction of structure group EK ⊂ EG to the subgroup K that solves the Yang–Mills equation for (EG, θ). We prove that the principal G-bundle EG is polystable and the above reduction EK solves the Einstein–Hermitian equation for EG. We also prove that for a semistable (respectively, polystable) Higgs G-bundle (EG, θ) on a compact connected Calabi–Yau manifold, the underlying principal G-bundle EG is semistable (respectively, polystable).

Within the framework of the Exact Renormalization Group, a manifestly gauge invariant calculus is constructed for SU (N) Yang–Mills. The methodology is comprehensively illustrated with a proof, to all orders in perturbation theory, that the β function has no explicit dependence on either the seed action or details of the covariantization of the cutoff. The cancellation of these nonuniversal contributions is done in an entirely diagrammatic fashion.

Abstract We investigate the non-perturbative regimes in the class of non-Abelian theories that have been proposed as an ultraviolet completion of 4-D Quantum Field Theory (QFT) generalizing the kinetic energy operators to an infinite series of higher-order derivatives inspired by string field theory. We prove that, at the non-perturbative level, the physical spectrum of the theory is actually corrected by the “infinite number of derivatives” present in the action. We derive a set of Dyson-Schwinger equations in differential form, for correlation functions till two-points, the solution for which are known in the local theory. We obtain that just like in the local theory, the non-local counterpart displays a mass gap, depending also on the mass scale of non-locality, and show that it is damped in the deep UV asymptotically. We point out some possible implications of our result in particle physics and cosmology and discuss aspects of non-local QCD-like scenarios.

With this work, we try to answer 3 fundamental questions that have plagued mathematicians and physicists for several decades. As known, the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) and the Brout-Englert-Higgs Mechanism (BEH-M) solved the Yang-Mills Mass Gap Problem. However, various mathematicians, even prestigious ones, consider the basic assumptions of the gauge theories to be wrong, as well as in conflict with the experimental evidences and in clear disagreement with the facts, distorcing the physical reality itself. Likewise, the Quantum Fields Theory (QFT) is mathematically inconsistent, adopting a mathematical structure somewhat complicated and arbitrary, which does not satisfy the strong demands for coherence. The weakest point of the gauge theories, in our opinion, consists in imposing that all the particles must be free of an intrinsic mass (massless). On the contrary, even for the particle considered universally massless, i.e. the photon (P), our calculations show a dynamic-mass, a push-momentum (p) of 1.325⋅10−22[g⋅cm/s]. That is, an optic P hits a particle with an energy-mass greater than 100 protons rest-mass’. It is clear that if we replaced this value with the full value of the P inserted in the equations of the Perturbation Theory, QFT and Yang-Mills theories, all divergences, that is all zeroes and infinities, would suddenly disappear. Consequently, the limits imposed by the SSB disappear so that there is no longer any need to deny the mass to the Nuclear Forces bosons, including the Yang-Mills b quantum. Still, the photons (Ps) are the basis of the quantum vacuum energy, which is distributed ubiquitously, also within the intra-atomic spaces. It is likely that a lot of Ps were trapped in atomic nuclei (at the time of nucleosynthesis) and among quarks (Qs) at the time of primordial nucleonic synthesis. We believe that when Qs get too close to each other, till repelling each other (Asymptotic Freedom of Qs), this may depend on the presence of a multitude of Ps that, no further compressible, begin to exert an antigravity repulsive force, just as a Dark Energy. This limit to Compressibility (C) of the radiation is shown in equation: PV 4/3 = C, where V is the volume, and P is the Pressure of the photonic gas. Quantum Mechanics plays a crucial role, through the Uncertainty Principle, in the spatial Confinement of Qs, which have remained eternally confined in an extremely narrow space by the  Strong Interaction, but in primis by the very short range (likely ≈8.44[±1.44]⋅10-16cm) and lifetime of gluon(G) which, from our calculations, is ≈2.73[±0.564]⋅10-26 sec. Therefore, a new parameter may be added to the Qs and G spatial Confinement: the b quantum or G Temporal Confinement (and of their Colours and anti-Colours).

The rank-3 antisymmetric tensors which are the magnetic monopoles of SU(N) Yang-Mills gauge theory dynamics, unlike their counterparts in Maxwell’s U(1) electrodynamics, are non-vanishing, and do permit a net flux of Yang-Mills analogs to the magnetic field through closed spatial surfaces. When electric source currents of the same Yang-Mills dynamics are inverted and their fermions inserted into these Yang-Mills monopoles to create a system, this system in its unperturbed state contains exactly 3 fermions due to the monopole rank-3 and its 3 additive field strength gradient terms in covariant form. So to ensure that every fermion in this system occupies an exclusive quantum state, the Exclusion Principle is used to place each of the 3 fermions into the fundamental representation of the simple gauge group with an SU(3) symmetry. After the symmetry of the monopole is broken to make this system indivisible, the gauge bosons inside the monopole become massless, the SU(3) color symmetry of the fermions becomes exact, and a propagator is established for each fermion. The monopoles then have the same antisymmetric color singlet wavefunction as a baryon, and the field quanta of the magnetic fields fluxing through the monopole surface have the same symmetric color singlet wavefunction as a meson. Consequently, we are able to identify these fermions with colored quarks, the gauge bosons with gluons, the magnetic monopoles with baryons, and the fluxing entities with mesons, while establishing that the quarks and gluons remain confined and identifying the symmetry breaking with hadronization. Analytic tools developed along the way are then used to fill the Yang-Mills mass gap.

Smolyanov has introduced1 the term "Feynman formula" (in the configuration space) for the representation of a solution of a Cauchy problem by limit of integrals over finite Cartesian products of the domain of the solution when the number of multipliers tends to infinity. In this paper, such formulas (first written by Smolyanov, Shamarov and Kpekpassi in a short note2) are proved for a family of heat type equations where the spatial variable runs over 𝔭-adic space of countable sequences. Equations with 𝔭-adic variables describe, for example, the dynamics of proteins.

AbstractA homotopy theoretic version is given of the following result of Conner and Raymond: If the circle acts on a space so that the orbit map induces an injection in homology, then the space fibres over the circle with finite structure group. This homotopical analogue is related to recent results pertaining to the effect of the fundamental group's structure on the Euler characteristic. It is also used in the construction of a compact, simple 7-manifold with trivial Gottlieb group which, together with an infinite dimensional example of Ganea, answers a question of Gottlieb.
