Large N lattice gauge theory

چکیده
Wilson loops in large N gauge theory exhibit a weak to strong coupling transition as the loop is dilated. A multiplicative matrix model captures the universal behavior associated with this transition. A universal scaling function is obtained in a double scaling limit. Numerical studies show that both large N QCD in three dimensions and the SU(N) principal chiral model in two dimensions are in the same universality class.

Large 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...
متن کاملPrecision study of large - N Yang - Mills theory in 2 + 1 dimensions
The boundstate problem in 2+1-dimensional large-N Yang-Mills theory is accurately solved using the light-front Hamiltonian of transverse lattice gauge theory. We conduct a thorough investigation of the space of couplings on coarse lattices, finding a single renormalised trajectory on which Poincaré symmetries are enhanced in boundstate solutions. Augmented by existing data from finite-N Euclide...
متن کاملLarge-N volume independence in conformal and confining gauge theories
Consequences of large N volume independence are examined in conformal and confining gauge theories. In the large N limit, gauge theories compactified on Rd−k × (S) are independent of the S radii, provided the theory has unbroken center symmetry. In particular, this implies that a large N gauge theory which, on R, flows to an IR fixed point, retains the infinite correlation length and other scal...
متن کاملβ - functions in large - N f supersymmetric gauge theories
We present calculations of the leading and O(1/N f) terms in a large-N f expansion of the β-functions and anomalous dimensions for various supersymmetric gauge theories, including supersymmetric QCD. In the case of supersymmetric QCD, we show that our O(1/N f) approximation displays an infra-red fixed point in the conformal window 3 2
متن کاملDeconfinement Transition in Large N Lattice Gauge Theory
We study analytically the phase diagram of the pure SU (N) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature, and we attempt to estimate the critical decon-finement temperature. We apply large N techniques to the Wilson and to the Heat Kernel action, and we study the resulting models both in the strong coupling and in the weak coupling limits. Using the Heat Kernel action, we establish an interesting ...
