Non-Abelian Gauge Theories with Composite Fields in the Background Field Method
Universe, 2022 Non-Abelian gauge theories with composite fields are examined in the background field method. Generating functionals of Green’s functions for a Yang–Mills theory with composite and background fields are introduced, including the generating functional of ...

The theory of symmetric tensor field: From fractons to gravitons and back
Physics Letters B, 2022 We consider the theory of a symmetric tensor field in 4D, invariant under a subclass of infinitesimal diffeomorphism transformations, where the vector diff parameter is the 4-divergence of a scalar parameter.

Quantum Field Theory Anomalies in Condensed Matter Physics
SciPost Physics Lecture Notes, 2022 We give a pedagogical introduction to quantum anomalies, how they are calculated using various methods, and why they are important in condensed matter theory. We discuss axial, chiral, and gravitational anomalies as well as global anomalies.

On the Role of Constraints and Degrees of Freedom in the Hamiltonian Formalism
Universe, 2023 Unfortunately, the Hamiltonian mechanics of degenerate Lagrangian systems is usually presented as a mere recipe of Dirac, with no explanation as to how it works.

Quantum elliptic Calogero-Moser systems from gauge origami
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We systematically study the interesting relations between the quantum elliptic Calogero-Moser system (eCM) and its generalization, and their corresponding supersymmetric gauge theories.

Infinitesimal Gribov copies in gauge-fixed topological Yang-Mills theories
Physics Letters B, 2020 We study the Gribov problem in four-dimensional topological Yang-Mills theories following the Baulieu-Singer approach in the (anti-)self-dual Landau gauges.

Stueckelberg and Higgs Mechanisms: Frames and Scales
Universe, 2022 We consider Yang–Mills theory with a compact gauge group G on Minkowski space R3,1 and compare the introduction of masses of gauge bosons using the Stueckelberg and Higgs mechanisms.

Conundrum for the free energy of a holonomous gluonic plasma at cubic order
Physics Letters B, 2020 We compute the term ∼g3 in the free energy for a SU(N) gauge theory with nonzero holonomy at nonzero temperature. If the holonomy is generated kinematically by the introduction of gauge invariant sources coupled to Polyakov loops, the contribution of ...

A geometric recipe for twisted superpotentials
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We give a pedagogical introduction to spectral networks and abelianization, as well as their relevance to N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 2 supersymmetric field theories in four dimensions.
