Spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in a vector-gluon model
Solutions of the self-consistent equation for fermion propagator in a vector-gluon model are fully examined. The equation is characterized by a set of parameters, i.e., the coupling constant g, the bare mass of the fermion mo and the cutoff A. It is proved that with a suitable gauge chosen, the equation without ~utoff has solutions ·only in the case mo=O, It is then shown that, if g'/4n Bn, the "normal-state" solution for the equation without cutoff, even if it existed, should necessarily have an unphysical singularity.

Infrared Features of Unquenched Lattice Landau Gauge QCD
Abstract.The running coupling and the Kugo-Ojima parameter of unquenched lattice Landau gauge are simulated and compared with the continuum theory. Although the running coupling measured by the ghost and gluon dressing function is infrared suppressed, the running coupling has a maximum of α0 ∼ 2 − 2.5 at around q = 0.5 GeV irrespective of the fermion actions (Wilson fermions and Kogut-Susskind (KS) fermions). The Kugo-Ojima parameter c which saturated to about 0.8 in quenched simulations becomes consistent with 1 in the MILC configurations produced with the use of the Asqtad action, after averaging the dependence on polarization directions caused by the asymmetry of the lattice. The presence of the correction factor 1 + c1/q2 in the running coupling depends on the lattice size and the sea quark mass. In the large lattice size and small sea quark mass, c1 is confirmed of the order of a few GeV. The MILC configuration of a = 0.09 fm suggests also the presence of dimension-4 condensates with a sign opposite to the dimension-2 condensates. The gluon propagator, the ghost propagator, and the running coupling are compared with recent pQCD results including an anomalous dimension of fields up to the four-loop level.

Numerical studies of confinement in the lattice Landau gauge
Critical conjectures on confinement in the Landau gauge is numerically tested in focus to Gribov copy effects. One of the subjects is of the Kugo-Ojima confinement criterion and the other is of various viewpoints in the Gribov-Zwanziger theory. We use the smearing gauge as a reference gauge free of Gribov copy, and performed three types of simulations, log U, U-linear and log U in the smearing gauge. It is found that Gribov copy effect on the Kugo-Ojima parameter is small. log U and U-linear simulations yield only global scale factor difference in gluon propagator, but nontrivial difference of momentum behaviour in ghost propagator, and about 10% difference in Kugo-Ojima parameter. The horizon function defined by Zwanziger is evaluated in three types of gauge field and compared. All data show the negative horizon function as expected.

Quiver Varieties and Tensor Products, II
We define a family of homomorphisms on a collection of convolution algebras associated with quiver varieties, which gives a kind of coproduct on the Yangian associated with a symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebra. We study its property using perverse sheaves.

Coupling between M2-branes and form fields
In the context of low-energy effective theory of multiple M2-branes, we construct the interaction terms between the world-volume fields of M2-branes and the antisymmetric tensor fields of three- and six-forms. By utilizing the compactification procedure, we show coincidence between the dimensionally reduced coupling and the R-R coupling to D-branes in type II string theory. We also discuss that a cubic term proportional to six-form field reproduces the quartic mass-deformation term in the world-volume theory of multiple M2-branes.

Deformation of super Yang-Mills theories in R-R 3-form background
We study deformation of = 2 and = 4 super Yang-Mills theories, which are obtained as the low-energy effective theories on the (fractional) D3-branes in the presence of constant Ramond-Ramond 3-form background. We calculate the Lagrangian at the second order in the deformation parameter from open string disk amplitudes. In = 4 case we find that all supersymmetries are broken for generic deformation parameter but part of supersymmetries are unbroken for special case. We also find that classical vacua admit fuzzy sphere configuration. In = 2 case we determine the deformed supersymmetries. We rewrite the deformed Lagrangians in terms of = 1 superspace, where the deformation is interpreted as that of coupling constants.

Vortex-type Half-BPS Solitons in ABJM Theory
We study Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) theory without and with mass deformation. It is shown that maximally supersymmetry preserving, D-term, and F-term mass deformations of single mass parameter are equivalent. We obtain vortex-type halfBPS equations and the corresponding energy bound. For the undeformed ABJM theory, the resulting half-BPS equation is the same as that in supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and no finite energy regular BPS solution is found. For the mass-deformed ABJM theory, the halfBPS equations for U(2)×U(2) case reduce to the vortex equation in Maxwell-Higgs theory, which supports static regular multi-vortex solutions. In U(N)×U(N) case with N > 2 the nonabelian vortex equation of Yang-Mills-Higgs theory is obtained.

Instanton calculus in R-R 3-form background and deformed = 2 super Yang-Mills theory
We study the ADHM construction of instantons in = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory deformed in constant Ramond-Ramond (R-R) 3-form field strength background in type IIB superstrings. We compare the deformed instanton effective action with the effective action of fractional D3/D(−1) branes at the orbifold singularity of C2/Z2 in the same R-R background. We find discrepancy between them at the second order in deformation parameters, which comes from the coupling of the translational zero modes of the D(−1)-branes to the R-R background. We improve the deformed action by adding a term with space-time dependent gauge coupling. Although the space-time action differs from the action in the Ω-background, both actions lead to the same instanton equations of motion at the lowest order in gauge coupling.
