Ultraviolet behavior of non-abelian gauge theories

DJ Gross, F Wilczek - Physical Review Letters, 1973 - APS
It is shown that a wide class of non-Abelian gauge theories have, up to calculable logarithmic
corrections, free-field-theory asymptotic behavior. It is suggested that Bjorken scaling may …

Asymptotically free gauge theories. I

DJ Gross, F Wilczek - Physical Review D, 1973 - APS
Asymptotically free gauge theories of the strong interactions are constructed and analyzed.
The reasons for doing this are recounted, including a review of renormalization-group …

Asymptotically free gauge theories. II

DJ Gross, F Wilczek - Physical Review D, 1974 - APS
Deep-inelastic lepton-hadron scattering is analyzed in asymptotically free gauge theories of
the strong interactions. The renormalization-group equations for the coefficients of the twist-…

The role of symmetry in fundamental physics

DJ Gross - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 1996 - National Acad Sciences
… These irreducible representations are labeled by the mass and the spin J, which is
quantized in half-integer units, J = 0, 1/2, 1, … . … The most important consequence is that …

Twenty five years of asymptotic freedom

DJ Gross - Nuclear Physics B-Proceedings Supplements, 1999 - Elsevier
David Politzer, to generalize the mechanism he had explored with Eric Weinberg-that …
J < 1, a situation that corresponds to electric screening or 6 > 1. However, in quantum …

QCD and instantons at finite temperature

DJ Gross, RD Pisarski, LG Yaffe - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1981 - APS
The current understanding of the behavior of quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature
is presented. Perturbative methods are used to explore the high-temperature dynamics. At …

Dynamical symmetry breaking in asymptotically free field theories

DJ Gross, A Neveu - Physical Review D, 1974 - APS
Two-dimensional massless fermion field theories with quartic interactions are analyzed.
These models are asymptotically free. The models are expanded in powers of 1 N, where N is …

Heterotic string theory (I). The free heterotic string

DJ Gross, JA Harvey, E Martinec, R Ryan - Current Physics–Sources and …, 1989 - Elsevier
A new theory of closed orientable superstrings is constructed as a chiral combination of the
closed D = 26 bosonic and D = 10 fermionic strings. The resulting ten-dimensional theory is …

Heterotic string

DJ Gross, JA Harvey, E Martinec, R Rohm - Physical Review Letters, 1985 - APS
A new type of superstring theory is constructed as a chiral combination of the closed D= 26
bosonic and D= 10 fermionic strings. The theory is supersymmetric, Lorentz invariant, and …

The structure of the gauge theory vacuum

CG Callan Jr, RF Dashen, DJ Gross - Physics Letters B, 1976 - Elsevier
The finite action Euclidean solutions of gauge theories are shown to indicate the existence
of tunneling between topologically distinct vacuum configurations. Diagonalization of the …
