Topological resolution of gauge theory singularities
Some gauge theories with Coulomb branches exhibit singularities in perturbation theory, which are usually resolved by nonperturbative physics. In string theory this corresponds to the resolution of timelike singularities near the core of orientifold planes by effects from F or M theory. We propose a new mechanism for resolving Coulomb branch singularities in three dimensional gauge theories, ba...
متن کاملGauge theory of topological phases of matter
We study the response of quantum many-body systems to coupling some of their degrees of freedom to external gauge fields. This serves to understand the current Green functions and transport properties of interacting many-body systems. Our analysis leads to a “gauge theory of states of matter” complementary to the well-known Landau theory of order parameters. We illustrate the power of our appro...
متن کاملGauge Theory and the Excision of Repulson Singularities
We study brane configurations that give rise to large-N gauge theories with eight supersymmetries and no hypermultiplets. These configurations include a variety of wrapped, fractional, and stretched branes or strings. The corresponding spacetime geometries which we study have a distinct kind of singularity known as a repulson. We find that this singularity is removed by a distinctive mechanism,...
متن کاملSingularities of N = 1 Supersymmetric Gauge Theory and Matrix Models
In N = 1 supersymmetric U(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter Φ and polynomial tree-level superpotential W (Φ), the massless fluctuations about each quantum vacuum are generically described by U(1) gauge theory for some n. However, by tuning the parameters of W (Φ) to non-generic values, we can reach singular vacua where additional fields become massless. Using both the matrix model prescriptio...
متن کاملHooft Vortices and Phases of Large N Gauge Theory
It is shown that a pair of vortex and anti-vortex is completely screened in 2 + 1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory and 3 + 1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory in the strong coupling limit, based on the recent conjecture of Maldacena. This is consistent with the fact that these theories exhibit confinement.
