摘要
It is believed that Euclidean Yang-Mills theories behave like the massless Gaussian free field (GFF) at short distances. This makes it impossible to define the main observables for these theories-the Wilson loop observables-in dimensions greater than two, because line integrals of the GFF do not exist in such dimensions. Taking forward a proposal of Charalambous and Gross, this article shows that it is possible to define Euclidean Yang-Mills theories on the 3D unit torus as 'random distributional gauge orbits', provided that they indeed behave like the GFF in a certain sense. One of the main technical tools is the existence of the Yang-Mills heat flow on the 3D torus starting from GFF-like initial data, which is established in a companion paper. A key consequence of this construction is that under the GFF assumption, one can define a notion of 'regularized Wilson loop observables' for Euclidean Yang-Mills theories on the 3D unit torus.
