Glueball Mass Spectrum from Supergravity∗

چکیده
We review the calculation of the spectrum of glueball masses in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory using the conjectured duality between supergravity and large N gauge theories. The glueball masses are obtained by solving the supergravity wave equations in a black hole geometry. The glueball masses found this way are in unexpected agreement with the available lattice data. We also show how to use a modified version of the duality based on rotating branes to calculate the glueball mass spectrum with some of the Kaluza-Klein states of the supergravity theory decoupled from the spectrum.

Glueball mass spectra for supergravity duals of noncommutative gauge theories
We derive the glueball masses in noncommutative super Yang–Mills theories in four dimensions via the dual supergravity description. The spectrum of glueball masses is discrete due to the noncommutativity and the glueball masses are proportional to the noncommutativity parameter with dimension of length. The mass spectrum in the WKB approximation closely agrees with the mass spectrum in finite t...
متن کاملGlueballs and AdS/CFT
I review the calculation of the glueball spectrum in non-supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (in 3 and 4 dimensions) using the conjectured duality between supergravity and large N gauge theories. The glueball masses are obtained by solving the supergravity wave equations in a black hole geometry. The masses obtained this way are in unexpectedly good agreement with the available lattice data, and a...
متن کاملGlueball Spectrum for QCD from AdS Supergravity Duality∗
We present the analysis of the complete glueball spectrum for the AdS black hole supergravity dual of QCD4 in strong coupling limit: g N → ∞. The bosonic fields in the supergravity multiplet lead to 6 independent wave equations contributing to glueball states with J = 2, 1, 1−−, 0 and 0. We study the spectral splitting and degeneracy patterns for both QCD4 and QCD3. Despite the expected limitat...
متن کاملD0 − D4 System and Qcd 3+1 Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We consider a (3 + 1) dimensional QCD model using the duality of the supergravity and the large N gauge theory, using the non-extremal D0−D4 branes as the supergravity background. We calculate the spectrum of the glueball masses and the Wilson loop in this background. The mass spectrum is shown to coincide with one in the pure non-extremal D4-brane system, and the area low of the spatial Wilson...
متن کاملGlueball Masses from Supergravity with Flavor
We study the glueballs in a four-dimensional N = 2 super YangMills theory with fundamental matters in terms of the supergravity dual. The supergravity background is constructed by N D3 brane with a probe D7 brane. We numerically compute the glueball masses for 0++ and 1 in the background. We find that the mass ratio of 0++ glueballs is mostly in agreement with the lattice calculations. We compa...
