چکیده
From its inception in statistical physics to its role in the construction and in the development of the asymmetric Yang-Mills phase in quantum field theory, the notion of spontaneous broken symmetry permeates contemporary physics.

Broken Symmetry and Yang-mills Theory
From its inception in statistical physics to its role in the construction and in the development of the asymmetric Yang-Mills phase in quantum field theory, the notion of spontaneous broken symmetry permeates contemporary physics.

متن کاملMass Generation in Three Dimensions
I consider the dilute monopole gas expansion of the three dimensional Yang-Mills-Higgs system in the symmetry broken phase. The functional determinants which occur in such an expansion are computed in the heat kernel approximation for an arbitrary SU(N) gauge group. Explicit expressions for the gauge boson mass in the unbroken gauge sector and the string tension are obtained for the SU(2) gauge...
متن کاملIntegrability in Yang-Mills theory on the light cone beyond leading order.
The one-loop dilatation operator in Yang-Mills theory possesses a hidden integrability symmetry in the sector of maximal-helicity Wilson operators. We calculate two-loop corrections to the dilatation operator and demonstrate that, while integrability is broken for matter in the fundamental representation of the SU(3) gauge group, for the ajoint SU(N(c)) matter it survives the conformal symmetry...
متن کاملThe nilpotent BRST symmetry for the Gribov-Zwanziger theory
We have obtained the nilpotent BRST symmetry of Yang-Mills theory restricted to the Gribov region. In fact, we give a modified BRST transformation that leaves the Gribov-Zwanziger action invariant and obeys the nilpotency, although the usual BRST symmetry is broken due to the non-vanishing Gribov parameter representing the presence of the Gribov horizon in the configuration space of the Yang-Mi...
متن کاملSpontaneously Broken Gauge Symmetry in SUSY Yang-Mills Theories with Matter
The analysis of spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking of N = 1 supersymmetric SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory with matter is performed. The supersymmetric Rξ-gauge is used and its non-local effects investigated. Superpropagators and vertices are computed, and it is shown that the non-local terms introduced by the Rξ-gauge-fixing are well-behaved in general gauge at one-loop. It is argued that this featu...
