Statistical mechanics for dilatations in N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory

چکیده
Matrix model describing the anomalous dimensions of composite operators in N = 4 super Yang–Mills theory up to one-loop level is considered at finite temperature. We compute the thermal effective action for this model, which we define as the log of the partition function restricted to the states of given fixed length and spin. The result is obtained in the limits of high and low temperature.

Plane - wave Matrix Theory from N = 4 Super Yang - Mills on R ×
Recently a mass deformation of the maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics has been constructed from the supermembrane action in eleven dimensional plane-wave backgrounds. However, the origin of this plane-wave matrix theory in terms of a compactification of a higher dimensional Super Yang-Mills model has remained obscure. In this paper we study the Kaluza-Klein reduction of D = 4...
متن کاملTwo-Loop Four-Gluon Amplitudes in N=4 Super-Yang-Mills
Using cutting techniques we obtain the two-loop N = 4 super-Yang-Mills helicity amplitudes for four-gluon scattering in terms of scalar integral functions. The N = 4 amplitudes are considerably simpler than corresponding QCD amplitudes and therefore provide a testing ground for exploring two-loop amplitudes. The amplitudes are constructed directly in terms of gauge invariant quantities and ther...
متن کاملN = 4 super Yang - Mills matrix integrals for almost all simple gauge groups
In this paper the partition function of N = 4 D = 0 super Yang-Mills matrix theory with arbitrary simple gauge group is discussed. We explicitly computed its value for all classical groups of rank r 6 11 and for the exceptional groups G2, F4 and E6. In the case of classical groups of arbitrary rank we conjecture general formulas for the Br, Cr and Dr series in addition to the known result for t...
متن کاملHeavy flavor diffusion in weakly coupled N = 4 Super Yang - Mills theory
We use perturbation theory to compute the diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark or scalar moving in N = 4 SU(Nc) Super Yang-Mills plasma to leading order in the coupling and the ratio T/M ≪ 1. The result is compared both to recent strong coupling calculations in the same theory and to the corresponding weak coupling result in QCD. This way, we obtain an estimate for the heavy quark diffusion c...
متن کاملQuantum deformation of conformal symmetry in N = 4 super Yang - Mills theory
In gauge theories, not all rigid symmetries of the classical action can be maintained manifestly in the quantization procedure, even in the absence of anomalies. If this occurs for an anomaly-free symmetry, the effective action is invariant under a transformation that differs from its classical counterpart by quantum corrections. As shown by Fradkin and Palchik years ago, such a phenomenon occu...
