T - Dual Formulation of Yang - Mills Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce a self-dual field strength which replaces the gauge field in spontaneously broken Yang-Mills theory, reformulating it as a Lorentz covariant non-linear sigma model. This dualized theory is in both a unitary and renormalizable gauge: The self-dual field strength has exactly the three components necessary to describe a massive vector field. In future work we shall utilize this new formulation as a calculational tool in spontaneously broken gauge theories.

Yang–Mills theory in terms of gauge invariant dual variables
Quantum Yang–Mills theory and the Wilson loop can be rewritten identically in terms of local gauge-invariant variables being directly related to the metric of the dual space. In this formulation, one reveals a hidden high local symmetry of the Yang–Mills theory, which mixes up fields with spins up to J = N for the SU(N) gauge group. In the simplest case of the SU(2) group the dual space seems t...
متن کاملA cubic action for self-dual Yang–Mills
We make a change of field variables in the J formulation of self-dual Yang–Mills theory. The field equations for the resulting algebra valued field are derivable from a simple cubic action. The cubic interaction vertex is different from that considered previously from the N=2 string, however, perturbation theory with this action shows that the only non-vanishing connected scattering amplitude i...

Perturbiner, that is, the solution of field equations which is a generating function for tree form-factors in N = 3 (N = 4) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, is studied in the framework of twistor formulation of the N = 3 superfield equations. In the case, when all one-particle asymptotic states belong to the same N = 3 supermul-tiplet (without any restriction on kinematics), the solution is de...
