Two Dimensional QCD is a String Theory
The partition function of two dimensional QCD on a Riemann surface of area A is expanded as a power series in 1/N and A. It is shown that the coefficients of this expansion are precisely determined by a sum over maps from a two dimensional surface onto the two dimensional target space. Thus two dimensional QCD has a simple interpretation as a closed string theory. This work was supported in par...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional Qcd as a String Theory
I explore the possibility of finding an equivalent string representation of two dimensional QCD. I develop the large N expansion of the QCD2 partition function on an arbitrary two dimensional Euclidean manifold. If this is related to a two-dimensional string theory then many of the coefficients of the 1 N expansion must vanish. This is shown to be true to all orders, giving strong evidence for ...
متن کاملTwo Dimensional QCD coupled to Adjoint Matter and String Theory
We study 2d QCD coupled to fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group SU(N) at large N , and its relation to string theory. It is shown that the model undergoes a deconfinement transition at a finite temperature (analogous to the Hagedorn transition in string theory), with certain winding modes in the Euclidean time direction turning tachyonic at high temperature. The theory is s...
متن کاملTopological Rigid String Theory and Two Dimensional QCD
We present a string theory that reproduces the large-N expansion of two dimensional YangMills gauge theory on arbitrary surfaces. First, a new class of topological sigma models is introduced, with path integrals localized to the moduli space of harmonic maps. The Lagrangian of these harmonic topological sigma models is of fourth order in worldsheet derivatives. Then we gauge worldsheet diffeomo...
متن کاملString Breaking in Two-Dimensional QCD
I present results of a numerical calculation of the effects of light quarkantiquark pairs on the linear heavy-quark potential in light-cone quantized two-dimensional QCD. I extract the potential from the QQ component of the ground-state wavefunction, and observe string breaking at the heavylight meson pair threshold. I briefly comment on the states responsible for the breaking. Contribution to ...
