Super Wilson Loops in Planar QCD

نویسنده

چکیده

In the planar limit of QCD meson correlation functions can be written as a path-integral for a spin-half particle with each path being weighted by the expectation value of the corresponding Super Wilson Loop. An important quantity in this context is the expectation value of the Super Wilson Loop averaged over loops of fixed length. I obtain the leading and the sub-leading length dependence for this quantity. The leading term, which was also known from the work of Banks and Casher, reflects the fact that chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken in planer QCD, while the sub-leading term implies that at least a finite fraction of paths contributing to the average of the Super Wilson Loop are effectively two-dimensional, thus suggesting a dual string description of planar QCD.

Implementation of the duality between Wilson loops and scattering amplitudes in QCD.

We generalize modern ideas about the duality between Wilson loops and scattering amplitudes in N=4 super Yang-Mills theory to large-N (or quenched) QCD. We show that the area-law behavior of asymptotically large Wilson loops is dual to the Regge-Veneziano behavior of scattering amplitudes at high energies and fixed momentum transfer, when the quark mass is small and/or the number of particles i...

We summarise the status of an intriguing new duality between planar maximally helicity violating scattering amplitudes and light-like Wilson loops in N = 4 super Yang-Mills. In particular, we focus on the role played by (dual) conformal symmetry, which is made predictive by deriving anomalous conformal Ward identities for the Wilson loops. Assuming the duality, the conformal symmetry of the dua...

Perturbative Wilson loops with massive sea quarks on the lattice

We present O(g) calculations of both planar and non-planar Wilson loops for various actions in the presence of sea quarks. In particular, the plaquette, the static potential and the static self energy are calculated to this order for massive Wilson, Sheikholeslami-Wohlert and Kogut-Susskind fermions, including the mass and nf dependence. The results can be used to obtain αMS and mb(mb) from lat...

Duality between Wilson loops and gluon amplitudes1

An intriguing new duality between planar MHV gluon amplitudes and light-like Wilson loops in N = 4 super Yang-Mills is investigated. We extend previous checks of the duality by performing a two-loop calculation of the rectangular and pentagonal Wilson loop. Furthermore, we derive an all-order broken conformal Ward identity for the Wilson loops and analyse its consequences. Starting from six poi...
