Two Polyakov Loop Correlators from D5-branes at Finite Temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
We study two Polyakov loop correlators in large N limit of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature using the AdS-Schwarzschild black hole. In the case that one of the two loops is of the anti-symmetric representation, we use D5-branes to evaluate them. The phase structure of these correlators is also examined. A previous result, derived in hep-th/9803135 and hep-th/9803137, is realized as a limiting case.

Multiply wound Polyakov loops at strong coupling
We study the expectation value of a Polyakov-Maldacena loop that wraps the thermal circle k times in strongly coupled N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory. This is achieved by considering probe D3 and D5 brane embeddings in the dual black hole geometry. In contrast to multiply wound spatial Wilson loops, nontrivial dependence on k is captured through D5 branes. We find N−2/3 corrections, reminiscent o...
متن کاملScreening of sources in higher representations of SU(N) gauge theories at zero and finite temperature
Completion of the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture in some (2+1) dimensional SU(N) gauge theories allows mapping Polyakov loops in higher representations of the gauge group into suitable conformal operators of the corresponding 2D CFT. As a consequence, the critical exponents of the correlators of these Polyakov loops are determined. The functional form of these correlators suggests a general Ansatz ...
متن کاملEffective Potential for Polyakov Loops in Lattice QCD
Precise measurement of Polyakov loop correlation is important for finite temperature physics. First of all heavy quark potentials at finite temperature are obtained by measuring twoPolyakov-loop correlation functions. It is already well-known that we can obtain the QQ̄ potential below and above the critical temperature (TC) from this measurement. Due to the nonperturbative effects, however, ther...
متن کاملStatic quark-antiquark potential and Dirac eigenvector correlators
We represent the Polyakov loop correlator as a spectral sum of correlators of eigenvectors of the lattice Dirac operator. This spectral representation is studied numerically using quenched SU(3) configurations below and above the deconfinement temperature. We analyze whether the individual Dirac eigenvector correlators differ in the confined and deconfined phases. The decay properties of the no...
متن کاملPolyakov loop correlators from D 0 - brane interactions in bosonic string theory ∗
In this paper we re-derive the effective Nambu-Goto theory result for the Polyakov loop correlator, starting from the free bosonic string and using a covariant quan-tization. The boundary conditions are those of an open string attached to two D0-branes at spatial distance R, in a target space with compact euclidean time. The one-loop free energy contains topologically distinct sectors correspon...
