Lattice Study of Planar Equivalence: The Quark Condensate
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study quenched SU(N) gauge theories with fermions in the two-index symmetric, antisymmetric and the adjoint representations. Our main motivation is to check whether at large number of colours those theories become non-perturbatively equivalent. We prove the equivalence assuming that the charge-conjugation symmetry is not broken in pure Yang-Mills theory. We then carry out a quenched lattice simulation of the quark condensate in the symmetric, antisymmetric and the adjoint representations for SU(2), SU(3), SU(4), SU(6) and SU(8). We show that the data support the equivalence and discuss the size of subleading corrections.

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 کاملAbout Orientifold Planar Equivalence on the Lattice
The orientifold planar equivalence is the equivalence in the large-N limit of the bosonic sectors of the super Yang-Mills and the QCD with a quark in the antisymmetric representation. I give a sketch of the proof of the orientifold planar equivalence in the strong-coupling and large-mass phase on the lattice. It is still matter of discussion, if its validity extends also in the continuum limit.
متن کاملQCD Quark Condensate from SUSY and the Orientifold Large-N Expansion
We estimate the quark condensate in one-flavor massless QCD from the known value of the gluino condensate in SUSY Yang-Mills theory using our newly proposed “orientifold” large-N expansion. The numerical result for the quark condensate renormalized at the scale 2 GeV is then given as a function of αs(2 GeV) and of possible corrections from sub-leading terms. Our value can be compared with the q...
متن کاملMixed Quark-Gluon condensate at finite temperature and density in the global color symmetry model
The mixed quark-gluon condensate is another chiral order parameter in QCD, which plays an important role in the application of QCD sum rules. In this letter, we study the properties of quark-gluon mixed condensate at finite temperature and quark chemical potential in the framework of global color symmetry model. Using an infrareddominant model gluon two-point function, we find that the behavior...
متن کاملFUZZY SUBGROUPS AND CERTAIN EQUIVALENCE RELATIONS
In this paper, we study an equivalence relation on the set of fuzzysubgroups of an arbitrary group G and give four equivalent conditions each ofwhich characterizes this relation. We demonstrate that with this equivalencerelation each equivalence class constitutes a lattice under the ordering of fuzzy setinclusion. Moreover, we study the behavior of these equivalence classes under theaction of a...
