Pair Correlation Function of Wilson Loops
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give a path integral prescription for the pair correlation function of Wilson loop observables on the worldvolume of a Dbrane in the bosonic string theory in flat spacetime. We determine the coefficient of the 1/R term in the static heavy quark potential from the static pair correlation function of Wilson lines at small spatial separation in the critical string theory. We verify that the pair correlation function of short loops at fixed time and large spatial separation has the expected Coulombic form for the D-instanton potential.

All orders results for self-crossing Wilson loops mimicking double parton scattering
Loop-level scattering amplitudes for massless particles have singularities in regions where tree amplitudes are perfectly smooth. For example, a 2 → 4 gluon scattering process has a singularity in which each incoming gluon splits into a pair of gluons, followed by a pair of 2 → 2 collisions between the gluon pairs. This singularity mimics double parton scattering because it occurs when the tran...
متن کاملRunning coupling constant and correlation length from Wilson loops
We consider a definition of the QCD running coupling constant α(μ) related to Wilson loops of size r×t with arbitrary fixed t/r. The schemes defined by these couplings are very close to the MS scheme (i.e. the one-loop perturbative correction to the coupling is small) for all values of t/r; in the t/r → ∞ limit, the “qq̄ force” scheme is recovered, where the coupling constant is related to the q...

Based on the AdS/CFT correspondence, string theory has given exact predictions for circular Wilson loops in U (N) N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory to all orders in a 1/N expansion. These Wilson loops can also be derived from Random Matrix Theory. In this paper we show that the result is generically insensitive to details of the Random Matrix Theory potential. We also compute all higher k-...
