Large-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 کاملTopological Conformal Field Theories and Gauge Theories
This paper gives a construction, using heat kernels, of differential forms on the moduli space of metrised ribbon graphs, or equivalently on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces with boundary. The construction depends on a manifold with a bundle of Frobenius algebras, satisfying various conditions. These forms satisfy gluing conditions which mean they form an open topological conformal field th...
متن کاملThe spectrum of SU(N) gauge theories in finite volume
We compute the spatial-volume dependence of the spectrum of 4D SU(3 ≤ N ≤ 6) gauge theories by lattice Monte-Carlo techniques. Setting the scale with the string tension, the spatial volume is L3 with 0.78fm ≤ L ≤ 2.3fm. The Euclidean ‘time’ direction is kept large enough to be considered infinite and the boundary conditions are periodic in all four dimensions. We study the mixing of torelon pai...
متن کاملConformal Anomalies in Noncommutative Gauge Theories
We calculate conformal anomalies in noncommutative gauge theories by using path integral method (Fujikawa’s method). As well as the axial anomalies and chiral gauge anomalies, the conformal anomalies take the form of the straightforward Moyal deformation in the corresponding conformal anomalies in ordinary gauge theories. However, Moyal star product leads the difference in the coefficient of th...
متن کاملConformal Phase Transition in Gauge Theories
The conception of the conformal phase transiton (CPT), which is relevant for the description of non-perturbative dynamics in gauge theories, is introduced and elaborated. The main features of such a phase transition are established. In particular, it is shown that in the CPT there is an abrupt change of the spectrum of light excitations at the critical point, though the phase transition is cont...
