On the phase structure of two–dimensional generalized Yang–Mills theories

چکیده
The phase structure of the generalized Yang–Mills theories is studied, and it is shown that almost always, it is of the third order. As a specific example, it is shown that all of the models with the interaction ∑ j (nj − j+N) exhibit third order phase transition. (nj is the length of the j-th row of the Yang tableau corresponding to U(N).) The special cases where the transition is not of the third order are also considered and, as a specific example, it is shown that the model ∑ j (nj −j+N) +g ∑ j (nj −j+N) 4 exhibits a third order phase transition, except for g = 27π/256, where the order of the transition is 5/2.

Non-Douglas-Kazakov phase transition of two-dimensional generalized Yang-Mills theories
In two-dimensional Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories for large gauge groups, there is a dominant representation determining the thermodynamic limit of the system. This representation is characterized by a density the value of which should everywhere be between zero and one. This density itself is determined through a saddle-point analysis. For some values of the parameter space, th...
متن کاملPhase transitions of Large-N two-dimensional Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories in the double scaling limit
The large-N behavior of Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories in the double-scaling limit is investigated. By the double-scaling limit, it is meant that the area of the manifold on which the theory is defined, is itself a function of N . It is shown that phase transitions of different orders occur, depending on the functional dependence of the area on N . The finite-size scalings of th...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Generalized Yang-Mills Theories
In generalized Yang-Mills theories scalar fields can be gauged just as vector fields in a usual Yang-Mills theory, albeit it is done in the spinorial representation. The presentation of these theories is aesthetic in the following sense: A physical theory using Yang-Mills theories requires several terms and irreducible representations, but with generalized Yang-Mills theories, only two terms an...
متن کاملPhase structure of the generalized two dimensional Yang-Mills theories on sphere
We find a general expression for the free energy of G(φ) = φ2k generalized 2D YangMills theories in the strong (A > Ac) region at large N . We also show that in this region, the density function of Young tableau of these models is a three-cut problem. In the specific φ6 model, we show that the theory has a third order phase transition, like φ2 (YM2) and φ 4 models. We have some comments for k ≥...
متن کاملLocalization on the D - brane , two - dimensional gauge theory and matrix models
We consider the effective topological field theory on Euclidean D-strings wrapping on a 2cycle in the internal space. We evaluate the vev of a suitable operator corresponding to the chemical potential of vortices bounded to the D-strings, and find that it reduces to the partition function of generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory as a result of localization. We argue that the partition f...
