String Breaking from Ladder Diagrams in SYM Theory

چکیده
The AdS/CFT correspondence establishes a string representation for Wilson loops in N = 4 SYM theory at large N and large ’t Hooft coupling. One of the clearest manifestations of the stringy behaviour in Wilson loop correlators is the string breaking phase transition. It is shown that resummation of planar diagrams without internal vertices predicts the strong-coupling phase transtion in exactly the same setting in which it arises from the string representation.

Cusped SYM Wilson loop at two loops and beyond
We calculate the anomalous dimension of the cusped Wilson loop in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory (SYM) to order λ2 (λ = g2 YMN). We show that the cancellation between the diagrams with the three-point vertex and the selfenergy insertion to the propagator which occurs for smooth Wilson loops is not complete for cusped loops, so that an anomaly term remains. This term contributes to the c...
متن کاملOn lightcone string field theory from Super Yang-Mills and holography
We investigate the issues of holography and string interactions in the duality between SYM and the pp wave background. We argue that the Penrose diagram of the maximally supersymmetric pp-wave has a one dimensional boundary. This fact suggests that the holographic dual of the pp-wave can be described by a quantum mechanical system. We believe this quantum mechanical system should be formulated ...
متن کاملDynamics of Flux Tubes in Large N Gauge Theories
The gluonic field created by a static quark anti-quark pair is described via the AdS/CFT correspondence by a string connecting the pair which is located on the boundary of AdS. Thus the gluonic field in a strongly coupled large N CFT has a stringy spectrum of excitations. We trace the stability of these excitations to a combination of large N suppressions and energy conservation. Comparison of ...
متن کاملOn Supersymmetry Breaking in String Theory and its Realization in Brane Worlds
We use string duality to describe instanton induced spontaneous supersymmetry breaking in string compactifications with additional background fields. Dynamical supersymmetry breaking by space-time instantons in the heterotic string theory is mapped to a tree level breaking in the type II string which can be explicitly calculated by geometric methods. The point particle limit describes the non-p...
متن کاملSYM Description of PP-wave String Interactions: Singlet Sector and Arbitrary Impurities
We study string interactions among string states with arbitrary impurities in the Type IIB plane wave background using string field theory. We reproduce all string amplitudes from gauge theory by computing matrix elements of the dilatation operator in a previously proposed basis of states. A direct correspondence is found between the string field theory and gauge theory Feynman diagrams. 1/2003...
