We show that the subleading soft photon theorem in a $(d+2)$-dimensional massless abelian gauge theory gives rise to a Ward identity corresponding to divergent large gauge transformations acting on the celestial sphere at null infinity. We further generalize our analysis to $(d+2)$-dimensional non-abelian gauge theories and show that the leading and subleading soft gluon theorem give rise to Ward identities corresponding to asymptotic symmetries of the theory.

We show that Weinbergs leading soft photon theorem in massless abelian gauge theories implies the existence of an infinite-dimensional large gauge symmetry which acts non-trivially on the null boundaries ${mathscr I}^pm$ of $(d+2)$-dimensional Minkow
ski spacetime. These symmetries are parameterized by an arbitrary function $varepsilon(x)$ of the $d$-dimensional celestial sphere living at ${mathscr I}^pm$. This extends the previously established equivalence between Weinbergs leading soft theorem and asymptotic symmetries from four and higher even dimensions to emph{all} higher dimensions.
Previous analyses of asymptotic symmetries in QED have shown that the subleading soft photon theorem implies a Ward identity corresponding to a charge generating divergent large gauge transformations on the asymptotic states at null infinity. In this
work, we demonstrate that the subleading soft photon theorem is equivalent to a more general Ward identity. The charge corresponding to this Ward identity can be decomposed into an electric piece and a magnetic piece. The electric piece generates the Ward identity that was previously studied, but the magnetic piece is novel, and implies the existence of an additional asymptotic magnetic symmetry in QED.
The previously developed renormalizable perturbative 1/N-expansion in higher dimensional scalar field theories is extended to gauge theories with fermions. It is based on the $1/N_f$-expansion and results in a logarithmically divergent perturbation t
heory in arbitrary high odd space-time dimension. Due to the self-interaction of non-Abelian fields the proposed recipe requires some modification which, however, does not change the main results. The new effective coupling is dimensionless and is running in accordance with the usual RG equations. The corresponding beta function is calculated in the leading order and is nonpolynomial in effective coupling. The original dimensionful gauge coupling plays a role of mass and is also logarithmically renormalized. Comments on the unitarity of the resulting theory are given.
We discuss a natural scenario to solve the strong CP problem in the framework of the higher dimensional gauge theory. An axion-like field $A_y$ has been built-in as the extra-space component of the higher dimensional gauge field. The coupling of $A_y
$ with gluons is attributed to the radiatively induced Chern-Simons (CS) term. We adopt a toy model with some unknown gauge symmetry U(1)$_X$. The CS term is obtained in two ways: first by a concrete 1-loop calculation and next by use of the Fujikawas method to deal with the chiral anomaly in 4D space-time. The obtained results are identical, which implies that the radiative correction to the CS term is 1-loop exact and is also free from UV-divergence even though the theory itself is non-renormalizable. As a novel feature of this scenario, such obtained CS term is no longer linear in the field $A_y$ as in the usually discussed CS term in 5D space-time but a periodic function of $A_y$, since $A_y$ has a physical meaning as the Wilson-loop phase. We argue how such novel feature of this scenario causes the modification of the ordinary solutions of the strong CP problem based on the axion fields.
We study heterotic asymmetric orbifold models. By utilizing the lattice engineering technique, we classify (22,6)-dimensional Narain lattices with right-moving non-Abelian group factors which can be starting points for Z3 asymmetric orbifold construc
tion. We also calculate gauge symmetry breaking patterns.
