Double Hairpin Diagrams and the Planar Equivalence of N=1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory and One-Flavor QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent work by Armoni, Shifman, and Veneziano suggests a large-N equivalence between supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory and one-flavor QCD. One consequence of this "orientifold projection" is that scalar and pseudoscalar mesons in one-flavor QCD should have degenerate mass since they lie within the same Wess-Zumino supermultiplet. We use lattice calculations to investigate the mass shifts caused by "double-hairpin" annihilation diagrams in quenched QCD to test for this degeneracy. Similar quark-antiquark annihilation processes are studied in the 2-dimensional CP(N−1) model with quenched fermions.

From Super-yang–mills Theory to Qcd: Planar Equivalence and Its Implications
We review and extend our recent work on the planar (large N) equivalence between gauge theories with varying degrees of supersymmetry. The main emphasis is on the planar equivalence between N =1 gluodynamics (super-Yang–Mills theory) and a nonsupersymmetric “orientifold field theory”. We outline an “orientifold” large N expansion, analyze its possible phenomenological consequences in one-flavor...
متن کاملA note on C-Parity Conservation and the Validity of Orientifold Planar Equivalence
We analyze the possibility of a spontaneous breaking of C-invariance in gauge theories with fermions in vector-like — but otherwise generic — representations of the gauge group. QCD, supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory, and orientifold field theories, all belong to this class. We argue that charge conjugation is not spontaneously broken as long as Lorentz invariance is maintained. Uniqueness of th...
متن کاملDegeneracy Between the Regge Slope of Mesons and Baryons from Supersymmetry
We consider the degeneracy between the Regge slope of mesons and baryons in QCD. We argue that within the “orientifold large-N approximation” asymptotically massive mesons and baryons become supersymmetric partners and hence degenerate. To this end, we generalize QCD by a SU(N) theory with a quark in the two-index antisymmetric representation. We show that in this framework the meson is represe...
متن کاملSUSY Relics in One-Flavor QCD from a New 1/N Expansion
We suggest a new large-Nc limit for multi flavor QCD. Since fundamental and two-index antisymmetric representations are equivalent in SU(3), we have the option to define SU(Nc) QCD keeping quarks in the latter. We can then define a new 1/Nc expansion (at fixed number of flavors Nf ) that shares appealing properties with the topological (fixed Nf/Nc) expansion while being more suitable for theor...
متن کاملA New Double - Scaling Limit of N = 4 Super Yang - Mills Theory and PP - Wave Strings
The metric of a spacetime with a parallel plane (pp)-wave can be obtained in a certain limit of the space AdS 5 ×S 5. According to the AdS/CFT correspondence, the holographic dual of superstring theory on that background should be the analogous limit of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. In this paper we shall show that, contrary to widespread expectation, non-planar diagrams survive this ...
