Cohomology and Renormalization of BFYM Theory in three Dimensions

The first order formalism for 3D Yang-Mills theory is considered and two different formulations are introduced, in which the gauge theory appears to be a deformation of the topological BF theory. We perform the quantization and the algebraic analysis of cohomology and renormalization for both the models, which are found to be anomaly free. We discuss also their stability against radiative corrections, giving the full structure of possible counterterms, requiring an involved matricial renormalization of fields and sources.

Feynman rules and beta-function for the BF Yang-Mills Theory

Yang-Mills theory in the first order formalism appears as the deformation of a topological field theory, the pure BF theory. We discuss this formulation at the quantum level, giving the Feynman rules of the BF-YM theory, the structure of the renormalization and checking its uv-behaviour in the computation of the beta-function which agrees with the expected result.

The BF Formalism for Yang-Mills Theory and the `t Hooft Algebra

The deformation of a topological field theory, namely the pure BF theory, gives the first order formulation of Yang-Mills theory; Feynman rules are given and the standard uv-behaviour is recovered. In this formulation new non local observables can be introduced following the topological theory and giving an explicit realization of `t Hooft algebra.

A New Nonperturbative Approach to QCD by BF Theory

Yang-Mills theory in the first order formalism appears as the deformation of a topological field theory, the pure BF theory. In this approach new non local observables are inherited from the topological theory and the operators entering the t'Hooft algebra find an explicit realization. A calculation of the {\it vev}'s of these operators is performed in the Abelian Projection gauge.

Quantized Temperatures Spectra in Curved Spacetimes

We consider the thermal properties of a scalar field theory on curved spacetimes. In particular, we argue for the existence in the de Sitter, Kruskal and Rindler manifolds of a discrete spectrum of allowed temperatures (the odd multiples of a fundamental one). For each temperature we give an explicit construction of the relative two point function in terms of the lowest temperature one. These results are actually valid for a wider class of static metrics with bifurcate Killing horizons, originally studied by Sewell. Some comments on the interpretation of our results are given.
