Abstract

This Master's thesis develops and applies the multisymplectic field-theory framework to (pure) Yang-Mills theory. Building from the geometric foundations of jet bundles and the Poincaré-Cartan forms, the work constructs the Lagrangian multisymplectic formalism for first-order field theories, recovering the usual Euler-Lagrange field equations and extending the Poisson brackets of symplectic mechanics to a full graded Lie algebra. It then establishes the Legendre correspondence with the multisymplectic Hamiltonian formalism (in which Hamilton equations are retrieved) including the case of singular Lagrangians (where a constraint algorithm is reproduced). Breaking Lorentz covariance via a Cauchy surface slicing, the thesis then relates the covariant multisymplectic picture to an instantaneous presymplectic (infinite-dimensional) formulation in which the instantaneous De Donder equations and presymplectic brackets are obtained in a compatible way. A comprehensive treatment of symmetries then leads to multisymplectic and instantaneous momentum maps generalizations and to several versions of Noether's theorems. Specializing the formalism to principal-bundle gauge theory, the thesis identifies the multisymplectic configuration space with the bundle of connections, gauge symmetries with symmetries in the multisymplectic language and builds the Yang-Mills Lagrangian. Lastly, among many computations, the standard tensorial Yang-Mills equations and the Bianchi identity in local trivializations are retrieved, Yang-Mills conserved currents and charges are obtained and the graded algebra is derived for a special class of Hamiltonian forms.

The massless sine-Gordon model with logarithmic correlations in arbitrary dimension

In this article, we study the sine-Gordon model with logarithmic correlations in arbitrary dimension $d \ge 1$. The model is defined as a Euclidean field theory whose interaction term in the classical action is \[ S_{\mathrm{int}}(φ) := 2z \int_Λ \cos(\sqrtβ\,φ)\,\dx, \] where $φ$ is a logarithmically correlated Gaussian field on a compact domain $Λ\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ that coincides with the Gaussian free field when $d=2$, and where $z \in \mathbb{R}$ and $β>0$. We treat both the massive and massless cases, with the main emphasis on the massless regime. We construct the field without imposing boundary conditions, together with its charge and gradient correlation functions, and we show that the partition function is renormalizable. The results are non-perturbative, holding for all $z \in \mathbb{R}$. If $d=1$, our results are valid for the full subcritical range $β\in (0,4π)$ and if $d\geq 2$, the results are valid for $β\in (0,(d+1)2π)$. Our analysis is carried out directly in the continuum: we perform renormalization via a scale decomposition and control the partition function by controlling the renormalized potential that arises in this procedure, using the iterated Mayer expansion of Brydges and Kennedy~\cite{BrKe87a}.

Nematic order in monomer-dimer models of Heilmann and Lieb with lateral attraction in dimensions $d\ge 2$

We study the $d$-dimensional generalization of Models II ($d=2$) and V ($d=3$) for liquid crystals introduced by Heilmann--Lieb (1979), which consists of dimers on the hypercubic lattice at chemical potential $μ$, interacting via a hard-core repulsion and a lateral attraction between parallel dimers with coupling constant $b>0$. For $d\in\{2,3\}$, these models were conjectured to exhibit liquid-crystalline order at low temperatures provided that $μ+2(d-1)b>0$. We establish nematic order for all $d\ge 2$ under the additional condition $(4d-6)b>μ$, which corresponds to the physical regime in which misaligned dimers are rare on scales comparable to the correlation length of the one-dimensional reference system. While the treatment of orientational order here follows the approach of our recent work on Model I, the proof of the absence of translational order relies on a custom implementation of cluster swapping in the sense of Sheffield (2005). Consequently, we deduce uniqueness of Gibbs measure and anisotropic exponential decay of correlations within each oriented phase.

Elementary commutator method for the Dirac equation with long-range perturbations

We present direct and elementary commutator techniques for the Dirac equation with long-range electric and mass perturbations. The main results are absence of generalized eigenfunctions and locally uniform resolvent estimates, both in terms of the optimal Besov-type spaces. With an additional massless assumption, we also obtain an algebraic radiation condition of projection type. For their proofs, following the scheme of Ito-Skibsted, we adopt, along with various weight functions, the generator of radial translations as conjugate operator, and avoid any of advanced functional analysis, pseudodifferential calculus, or even reduction to the Schrödinger equation. The results of the paper would serve as a foundation for the stationary scattering theory of the Dirac operator.
