On Yang–Mills Theories with Chiral Matter at Strong Coupling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Strong coupling dynamics of Yang–Mills theories with chiral fermion content remained largely elusive despite much effort over the years. In this work, we propose a dynamical framework in which we can address non-perturbative properties of chiral, non-supersymmetric gauge theories, in particular, chiral quiver theories on S1×R3. Double-trace deformations are used to stabilize the center-symmetric vacuum. This allows one to smoothly connect small-r(S1) to large-r(S1) physics (R4 is the limiting case) where the double-trace deformations are switched off. In particular, occurrence of the mass gap in the gauge sector and linear confinement due to bions are analytically demonstrated. We find the pattern of the chiral symmetry realization which depends on the structure of the ring operators, a novel class of topological excitations. The deformed chiral theory, unlike the undeformed one, satisfies volume independence down to arbitrarily small volumes (a working Eguchi–Kawai reduction) in the large N limit. This equivalence, may open new perspectives on strong coupling chiral gauge theories on R4. Unité Mixte de Recherche du CNRS, (UMR 8627). Published in the Physical Review D

A DK Phase Transition in q-Deformed Yang-Mills on S and Topological Strings
We demonstate the existence of a large N phase transition with respect to the ’t Hooft coupling in q-deformed Yang-Mills theory on S2. The strong coupling phase is characterized by the formation of a clump of eigenvalues in the associated matrix model of the Douglas-Kazakov (DK) type [1]. By understanding this in terms of instanton contributions to the q-deformed Yang-Mills theory, we gain some...
متن کاملAn Index for 4 dimensional Super Conformal Theories
We present a trace formula for an index over the spectrum of four dimensional superconformal field theories on S3× time. Our index receives contributions from states invariant under at least one supercharge and captures all information – that may be obtained purely from group theory – about protected short representations in 4 dimensional superconformal field theories. In the case of the N = 4 ...

We define a weak-strong coupling transformation based on the Legendre transformation of the effective action. In the case of N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, this coincides with the duality transform on the low energy effective action considered by Seiberg and Witten. This Legendre transform interpretation of duality generalizes directly to the full effective action, and in principle to ...
متن کاملLarge N corrections to the strong coupling behaviour of SU ( N ) / Z N lattice gauge theories
We derive a formula for the large N behaviour of the expectation values of an arbitrary product of Wilson loops in the adjoint representation. We show the consequences of our formula for the study of the large N strong coupling behaviour of SU(N)/ZN pure gauge theories, and theories with matter fields in the adjoint representation. This allows us to calculate large N corrections to the gluino c...

It is argued that N=6 supergravity on AdS5, with gauge group SU(3) × U(1) corresponds, at the classical level, to a subsector of the “chiral” primary operators of N=4 Yang-Mills theories. This projection involves a “duality transformation” of N=4 Yang-Mills theory and therefore can be valid if the coupling is at a self-dual point, or for those amplitudes that do not depend on the coupling const...
