Vacua of Supersymmetric Yang-mills Quantum Mechanics

چکیده
Reducing Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Field Theory to a single point in the three dimensional space results in the Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Quantum Mechanics (SYMQM) which basically is the effective quantum mechanics of zero momentum modes of the original theory. Such a system is still quite non-trivial and usually inherits many properties of the original field theory. In this talk some beautiful features of the three-dimensional model will be reviewed and illustrated with the aid of the recent, quantitative solution. In particular the structure of the supersymmetric vacua and condensates will be discussed.

Solving some gauge systems at infinite N
After summarizing briefly some numerical results for four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills quantum mechanics, we review a recent study of systems with an infinite number of colours. We study in detail a particular supersymmetric matrix model which exhibits a phase transition, strong-weak duality, and a rich structure of supersymmetric vacua. In the planar and strong coupling limits, ...
متن کاملSupersymmetric Yang-Mills and the Quantum Hall Effect
It is argued that there are strong similarities between the infra-red physics of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills and that of the quantum Hall effect, both systems exhibit a hierarchy of vacua with a subgroup of the modular group mapping between them. The β-function for pure SU(2) N = 2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills in 4-dimensions is re-examined and an earlier suggestion in the literature, that was s...

Normalized vacuum states in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills quantum mechanics with any gauge group. Abstract We study the question of existence and the number of normalized vacuum states in N = 4 super–Yang–Mills quantum mechanics for any gauge group. The mass deformation method is the simplest and clearest one. It allowed us to calculate the number of normalized vacuum states for all gauge gro...

متن کاملDomain Walls and Decay Rate of the Excited Vacua in the Large N Yang-Mills Theory
In the (non-supersymmetric) Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit there exists an infinite set of non-degenerate “vacua”. The distinct vacua are separated by domain walls whose tension determines the decay rate of the false vacua. I discuss the phenomenon from a field-theoretic point of view, starting from supersymmetric gluodynamics and then breaking supersymmetry by introducing a gluino mass...
