We reconsider the renormalizability of topological Yang-Mills field theories in (anti-)self-dual Landau gauges. By employing algebraic renormalization techniques we show that there is only one independent renormalization. Moreover, due to the rich set of Ward identities, we are able to obtain some important exact features of the (connected and one-particle irreducible) two-point functions. Specifically, we show that all two-point functions are tree-level exact.

Starting from a self-dual $SU(infty)$ Yang-Mills theory in $(2+2)$ dimensions, the Plebanski second heavenly equation is obtained after a suitable dimensional reduction. The self-dual gravitational background is the cotangent space of the internal tw o-dimensional Riemannian surface required in the formulation of $SU(infty)$ Yang-Mills theory. A subsequent dimensional reduction leads to the KP equation in $(1+2)$ dimensions after the relationship from the Plebanski second heavenly function, $Omega$, to the KP function, $u$, is obtained. Also a complexified KP equation is found when a different dimensional reduction scheme is performed . Such relationship between $Omega$ and $u$ is based on the correspondence between the $SL(2,R)$ self-duality conditions in $(3+3)$ dimensions of Das, Khviengia, Sezgin (DKS) and the ones of $SU(infty)$ in $(2+2)$ dimensions . The generalization to the Supersymmetric KP equation should be straightforward by extending the construction of the bosonic case to the previous Super-Plebanski equation, found by us in [1], yielding self-dual supergravity backgrounds in terms of the light-cone chiral superfield, $Theta$, which is the supersymmetric analog of $Omega$. The most important consequence of this Plebanski-KP correspondence is that $W$ gravity can be seen as the gauge theory of $phi$-diffeomorphisms in the space of dimensionally-reduced $D=2+2,~SU^*(infty)$ Yang-Mills instantons. These $phi$ diffeomorphisms preserve a volume-three-form and are, precisely, the ones which provide the Plebanski-KP correspondence.
Recent works have explored non-perturbative effects due to the existence of (infinitesimal) Gribov copies in Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories in three Euclidean dimensions. In particular, the removal of such copies modify the gauge field propagator b y a self-consistent dynamically generated mass parameter, the Gribov parameter. Due to the interplay with the topological mass introduced by the Chern-Simons term, the propagator features a non-trivial set of phases with poles of different nature, leading to the possible interpretation of a confinfing to deconfining phase transition. Inhere, we restore the BRST symmetry which is softly broken by the elimination of gauge copies and provide a BRST-invariant discussion of such a transition. In order to make clear all physical statements, we deal with linear covariant gauges which contain a gauge parameter and therefore allow for an explicit check of gauge parameter independence of physical results. We also discuss the generation of condensates due to the infrared relevance of infinitesimal Gribov copies.
We classify super-symmetric solutions of the minimal $N=2$ gauged Euclidean supergravity in four dimensions. The solutions with anti-self-dual Maxwell field give rise to anti-self-dual Einstein metrics given in terms of solutions to the $SU(infty)$ T oda equation and more general three-dimensional Einstein--Weyl structures. Euclidean Kastor--Traschen metrics are also characterised by the existence of a certain super covariantly constant spinor.

We introduce a Skyrme type model with the target space being the 3-sphere S^3 and with an action possessing, as usual, quadratic and quartic terms in field derivatives. The novel character of the model is that the strength of the couplings of those t wo terms are allowed to depend upon the space-time coordinates. The model should therefore be interpreted as an effective theory, such that those couplings correspond in fact to low energy expectation values of fields belonging to a more fundamental theory at high energies. The theory possesses a self-dual sector that saturates the Bogomolny bound leading to an energy depending linearly on the topological charge. The self-duality equations are conformally invariant in three space dimensions leading to a toroidal ansatz and exact self-dual Skyrmion solutions. Those solutions are labelled by two integers and, despite their toroidal character, the energy density is spherically symmetric when those integers are equal and oblate or prolate otherwise.
We construct a new covariant action for flat self-dual gravity in four spacetime dimensions. The action has just one term, but when expanded around an appropriate background gives rise to a kinetic term and a cubic interaction. Upon imposing the ligh t-cone gauge, the action reproduces the expected chiral interaction of Siegel. The new action is in many ways analogous to the known covariant action for self-dual Yang-Mills theory. There is also a sense in which the new self-dual gravity action exhibits the double copy of self-dual Yang-Mills structure.
