Reformulations of Yang-Mills Theories with Space-time Tensor Fields

We provide the reformulations of Yang-Mills theories in terms of gauge invariant metric-like variables in three and four dimensions. The reformulations are used to analyze the dimension two gluon condensate and give gauge invariant descriptions of gluon polarization. In three dimensions, we obtain a non-zero dimension two gluon condensate by one loop computation, whose value is similar to the square of photon mass in the Schwinger model. In four dimensions, we obtain a Lagrangian with the dual property, which shares the similar but different property with the dual superconductor scenario. We also make discussions on the effectiveness of one loop approximation.
