In this thesis, starting from the effective Lagrangians of the standard Yang-Mills, higher derivative Yang-Mills and the Chern-Simons- Yang-Mills theories, we have given the corresponding field equations and the symmetric gauge invariant energy- momentum tensors. Lagrangians containing higher derivative terms have been found useful for discussing the long lange effects of the gluon fields. A numeri cal solution is found for a spherically symmetric static gauge potential. On the other hand, Chern-Simons- Yang-Mills theories are responsible for the generation of a topological mass. In this context, various constant solutions as well as time dependent solutions have been found and interpreted within the region of appli cability of classical fields.

Phase transition in compact QED3 and the Josephson junction Onemli, VK; Tas, M; Tekin, Bayram (2001-08-01) We study the finite temperature phase transition in 2+1 dimensional compact QED and its dual theory: Josephson junction. Duality of these theories at zero temperature was established long time ago in [1]. Phase transition in compact QED is well studied thus we employ the 'duality' to study the superconductivity phase transition in a Josephson junction. For a thick junction we obtain a critical temperature in terms of the geometrical properties of the junction.
HIGHER-DERIVATIVE EFFECTIVE YANG-MILLS THEORY AND STATIC SPHERICALLY SYMMETRICAL FIELD CONFIGURATIONS BASKAL, S; DERELI, T (IOP Publishing, 1993-04-01) The variational field equations and the covariantly conserved energy-momentum tensor of a higher-derivative effective Yang-Mills theory are given. A class of static spherically symmetric gauge field configurations that follow from the Wu-Yang ansatz is considered.
Critical points of D-dimensional extended gravities Deser, S.; Liu, Haishan; Lue, H.; Pope, C. N.; Sisman, Tahsin Cagri; Tekin, Bayram (2011-03-17) We study the parameter space of D-dimensional cosmological Einstein gravity together with quadratic curvature terms. In D < 4 there are in general two distinct (anti)-de Sitter vacua. We show that, for an appropriate choice of the parameters, there exists a critical point for one of the vacua, with only massless tensor, but neither massive tensor nor scalar, gravitons. At criticality, the linearized excitations have formally vanishing energy (as do black hole solutions). A further restriction of the paramet...
EXACT BOUND STATES OF THE D-DIMENSIONAL KLEIN-GORDON EQUATION WITH EQUAL SCALAR AND VECTOR RING-SHAPED PSEUDOHARMONIC POTENTIAL IKHDAİR, SAMEER; Sever, Ramazan (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2008-09-01) We present the exact solution of the Klein Gordon equation in D-dimensions in the presence of the equal scalar and vector pseudoharmonic potential plus the ring-shaped potential using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method. We obtain the exact bound state energy levels and the corresponding eigen functions for a spin-zero particles. We also find that the solution for this ring-shaped pseudoharmonic potential can be reduced to the three-dimensional (3D) pseudoharmonic solution once the coupling constant of the angular ...
Linear-linear basis functions for MLFMA solutions of magnetic-field and combined-field integral equations Ergül, Özgür Salih (2007-04-01) We present the linear-linear (LL) basis functions to improve the accuracy of the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) and the combined-field integral equation (CFIE) for three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems involving closed conductors. We consider the solutions of relatively large scattering problems by employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm. Accuracy problems of MFIE and CFIE arising from their implementations with the conventional Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) basis functions can...
