Classical Yang-Mills theory

چکیده
We consider classical Yang-Mills theory with point sources and derive equations of motion for the coupled particle-field system. As an example, we discuss the special case of Yang-Mills theory coupled to point particles in (1þ 1) dimensions. We formulate the initial value problem for the system and describe several example solutions. VC 2011 American Association of Physics Teachers. [DOI: 10.1119/1.3606478]

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...
متن کاملAsymptotically Free Yang-Mills Classical Mechanics with Self-Linked Orbits
We construct a classical mechanics Hamiltonian which exhibits spontaneous symmetry breaking akin the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism, dimensional transmutation, and asymptotically free self-similarity congruent with the beta-function of four dimensional Yang-Mills theory. Its classical equations of motion support stable periodic orbits and in a three dimensional projection these orbits are self-link...
متن کاملClassical glueballs in non-Abelian Born-Infeld theory.
It is shown that the Born-Infeld-type modification of the quadratic Yang-Mills action gives rise to classical particlelike solutions prohibited in the standard Yang-Mills theory. This becomes possible due to breaking of the scale invariance by the Born-Infeld nonlinearity. New classical glueballs, which are of a sphaleronic nature, exhibit a striking similarity to the Bartnik-McKinnon solutions...
متن کاملStability of Yang-Mills-Higgs field system in the homogeneous self-dual vacuum field
Classical dynamics of SU(2) model gauge field system with Higgs field is considered in the homogeneous nonperturbative self-dual vacuum field. The regions of instability in parametric space are detected and described analytically. Introduction Much attention has been paid in the last decade to chaos in quantum field theory. At first, non-abelian Yang-Mills gauge fields were investigated without...
متن کاملLocalization for Yang-Mills Theory on the Fuzzy Sphere
We present a new model for Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere in which the configuration space of gauge fields is given by a coadjoint orbit. In the classical limit it reduces to ordinary Yang-Mills theory on the sphere. We find all classical solutions of the gauge theory and use nonabelian localization techniques to write the partition function entirely as a sum over local contributions fro...
