The String Dual of a Confining Four-Dimensional Gauge Theory
We study N = 1 gauge theories obtained by adding finite mass terms to N = 4 Yang-Mills theory. The Maldacena dual is nonsingular: in each of the many vacua, there is an extended brane source, arising from Myers’ dielectric effect. The source consists of one or more (p, q) 5-branes. In particular, the confining vacuum contains an NS5-brane; the confining flux tube is a fundamental string bound t...
متن کاملRenormalization - Group Study of Four - Dimensional Su ( 4 ) Gauge Theory
In some recent papers, we studied pure SU(4) gauge theory with the Wilson action on a hypercubical lattice in four space t ime dimensions and found a firstorder phase transition at/3 = 10.2 [1 ], that this phase transition was not deconfining [2] and measured the asymptotic freedom scale parameter A 0 [2]. In the present paper, we wish to apply a renormalizationgroup scheme [3] for comparing th...
متن کاملNon-Critical Superstrings from Four-Dimensional Gauge Theory
We study large-N double-scaling limits of U(N) gauge theories in four dimensions. We focus on theories in a partially confining phase where an abelian subgroup Ĝ of the gauge group remains unconfined. Double-scaling is defined near critical points in the parameter/moduli space where states charged under Ĝ become massless. In specific cases, we present evidence that the double-scaled theory is d...
متن کاملGauge Five Brane Moduli in Four Dimensional Heterotic M-theory
We present the first example of a Kähler potential for heterotic M-theory which includes gauge bundle moduli. These moduli describe the background gauge field configurations living on the orbifold fixed planes. We concentrate on the bundle moduli describing the size and SU(2) orientation of a gauge five brane a soliton which is primarily composed of these gauge fields. Our results are valid whe...
متن کاملUniversality of the gauge-ball spectrum of the four-dimensional pure U(1) gauge theory
We continue numerical studies of the spectrum of the pure U(1) lattice gauge theory in the confinement phase, initiated in [1]. Using the extended Wilson action S = −∑P [β cos(ΘP ) + γ cos(2ΘP )] we address the question of universality of the phase transition line in the (β, γ) plane between the confinement and the Coulomb phases. Our present results at γ = −0.5 for the gauge-ball spectrum are ...
