The ratio Z_1/Z_3 of vertex and wave-function renormalization factors, which is universal (i.e., matter-independent), is shown to equal 1+u which gives the residue of the scalar pole $propto p_mu p_ u /p^2$ of 2-point function < D_mu c D_ u bar c >. This relation is interesting since 1+u=0 has been known to give a sufficient condition for color confinement. We also give an argument that, when 1+u=0 holds, it will be realized by the disappearance of the massless gauge boson pole and is related with the restoration of a certain ``local gauge symmetry as was discussed by Hata. (Talk given at International Symposium on BRS Symmetry, Sept.~18 -- 22, 1995, Kyoto.)

Basis tensor gauge theory is a vierbein analog reformulation of ordinary gauge theories in which the difference of local field degrees of freedom has the interpretation of an object similar to a Wilson line. Here we present a non-Abelian basis tensor gauge theory formalism. Unlike in the Abelian case, the map between the ordinary gauge field and the basis tensor gauge field is nonlinear. To test the formalism, we compute the beta function and the two-point function at the one-loop level in non-Abelian basis tensor gauge theory and show that it reproduces the well-known results from the usual formulation of non-Abelian gauge theory.
As an extension of the weak perturbation theory obtained in recent analysis on infinite-derivative non-local non-Abelian gauge theories motivated from p-adic string field theory, and postulated as direction of UV-completion in 4-D Quantum Field Theory (QFT), here we investigate the confinement conditions and $beta-$function in the strong coupling regime. We extend the confinement criterion, previously obtained by Kugo and Ojima for the local theory based on the Becchi-Rouet-Stora-Tyutin (BRST) invariance, to the non-local theory, by using a set of exact solutions of the corresponding local theory. We show that the infinite-derivatives which are active in the UV provides finite contributions also in the infrared (IR) limit and provide a proof of confinement, granted by the absence of the Landau pole. The main difference with the local case is that the IR fixed point is moved to infinity. We also show that in the limit of the energy scale of non-locality $M rightarrow infty$ we reproduce the local theory results and see how asymptotic freedom is properly recovered.
The non-abelian Higgs (NAH) theory is studied in a strong magnetic field. For simplicity, we study the SU(2) NAH theory with the Higgs triplet in a constant strong magnetic field $vec B$, where the lowest-Landau-level (LLL) approximation can be used. Without magnetic fields, charged vector fields $A_mu^pm$ have a large mass $M$ due to Higgs condensation, while the photon field $A_mu$ remains to be massless. In a strong constant magnetic field near and below the critical value $eB_c equiv M^2$, the charged vector fields $A_mu^pm$ behave as 1+1-dimensional quasi-massless fields, and give a strong correlation along the magnetic-field direction between off-diagonal charges coupled with $A_mu^pm$. This may lead a new type of confinement caused by charged vector fields $A_mu^pm$.
We present a brief introduction to the construction of gauge theories on noncommutative spaces with star products. Particular emphasis is given to issues related to non-Abelian gauge groups and charge quantization. This talk is based on joined work with B. Jurco, J. Madore, L. Moeller, S. Schraml and J. Wess.
We study at the classical and quantum mechanical level the time-dependent Yang-Mills theory that one obtains via the generalisation of discrete light-cone quantisation to singular homogeneous plane waves. The non-Abelian nature of this theory is known to be important for physics near the singularity, at least as far as the number of degrees of freedom is concerned. We will show that the quartic interaction is always subleading as one approaches the singularity and that close enough to t=0 the evolution is driven by the diverging tachyonic mass term. The evolution towards asymptotically flat space-time also reveals some surprising features.
