چکیده
A surface of codimension higher than one embedded in an ambient space possesses a connection associated with the rotational freedom of its normal vector fields. We examine the Yang-Mills functional associated with this connection. The theory it defines differs from Yang-Mills theory in that it is a theory of surfaces. We focus, in particular, on the Euler-Lagrange equations describing this surface, introducing a framework which throws light on their relationship to the Yang-Mills equations.

We begin with the simplest possible introduction to supergravity, and then discuss its spin 3/2 stress tensor. Next, we discuss boundary conditions on fields and boundary actions for N = 1 supergravity. Finally, we discuss new boundary contributions to the mass and central charge of monopoles in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. All models are in 3+1 dimensions. YITP-SB-06-21

The spherically and cylindrically symmetric solutions of the SU (3) Yang-Mills theory are obtained. The corresponding gauge potential has the confining properties. It is supposed that: a) the spherically symmetric solution is a field distribution of the classical " quark " and in this sense it is similar to the Coulomb potential; b) the cylindrically symmetric solution describes a classical fie...

It is argued that string theory predicts unified field theory rather than general relativity coupled to matter fields. In unified field theory all the objects are geometrical, for strings the Kalb-Ramond matter field is identical to the nonsymmetric part of the metric except that the fields contribute to different sides of the field equations. The dilaton is related to the object of non-metricity.
