Complex monopole configurations dominate in the path integral in the Georgi-Glashow-Chern-Simons model and disorder the Higgs vacuum. No cancellation is expected among Gribov copies of the monopole configurations.

Complex monopole solutions exist in the three dimensional Georgi-Glashow model with the Chern-Simons term. They dominate the path integral and disorder the Higgs vacuum. Gribov copies of the vacuum and monopole configurations are studied in detail.
A critically discerning discussion of path integral bosonization is given. Successively evaluating the conventional path integral bosonization of QCD it is shown without any approximations that gluons must be composed of two quarks. This contradicts
the fundamentals of QCD, where quarks and gluons are independent fields. Furthermore, bosonizing the Fierz reordered effective four quark interaction term yields gluons, too. Colorless ``mesons are shown to be Fierz equivalent to a submanifold of gluons. The results obtained are not specific to QCD, but apply to other models as well.
A fully quantum version of the Witten-Olive analysis of the central charge in the N=1 Wess-Zumino model in $d=2$ with a kink solution is presented by using path integrals in superspace. We regulate the Jacobians with heat kernels in superspace, and o
btain all superconformal anomalies as one Jacobian factor. The conserved quantum currents differ from the Noether currents by terms proportional to field equations, and these terms contribute to the anomalies. We identify the particular variation of the superfield which produces the central charge current and its anomaly; it is the variation of the auxiliary field. The quantum supersymmetry algebra which includes the contributions of superconformal anomalies is derived by using the Bjorken-Johnson-Low method instead of semi-classical Dirac brackets. We confirm earlier results that the BPS bound remains saturated at the quantum level due to equal anomalies in the energy and central charge.
We consider the $U(1)$ Chern-Simons gauge theory defined in a general closed oriented 3-manifold $M$; the functional integration is used to compute the normalized partition function and the expectation values of the link holonomies. The nonperturbati
ve path-integral is defined in the space of the gauge orbits of the connections which belong to the various inequivalent $U(1)$ principal bundles over $M$; the different sectors of the configuration space are labelled by the elements of the first homology group of $M$ and are characterized by appropriate background connections. The gauge orbits of flat connections, whose classification is also based on the homology group, control the extent of the nonperturbative contributions to the mean values. The functional integration is achieved in any 3-manifold $M$, and the corresponding path-integral invariants turn out to be strictly related with the abelian Reshetikhin-Turaev surgery invariants.
We study a $T^2$ deformation of large $N$ conformal field theories, a higher dimensional generalization of the $Tbar T$ deformation. The deformed partition function satisfies a flow equation of the diffusion type. We solve this equation by finding it
s diffusion kernel, which is given by the Euclidean gravitational path integral in $d+1$ dimensions between two boundaries with Dirichlet boundary conditions for the metric. This is natural given the connection between the flow equation and the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, on which we offer a new perspective by giving a gauge-invariant relation between the deformed partition function and the radial WDW wave function. An interesting output of the flow equation is the gravitational path integral measure which is consistent with a constrained phase space quantization. Finally, we comment on the relation between the radial wave function and the Hartle-Hawking wave functions dual to states in the CFT, and propose a way of obtaining the volume of the maximal slice from the $T^2$ deformation.
