The Spectrum of Yang Mills on a Sphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this note, we determine the representation content of the free, largeN , SU(N) Yang Mills theory on a sphere by decomposing its thermal partition function into characters of the irreducible representations of the conformal group SO(4,2). We also discuss the generalization of this procedure to finding the representation content of N = 4 Super Yang Mills.

Spherical Deconstruction
We present evidence that N = 1 * SUSY Yang-Mills provides a decon-struction of a six-dimensional gauge theory compactified on a two-sphere. The six-dimensional theory is a twisted compactification of N = (1, 1) SUSY Yang-Mills theory of the type considered by Maldacena and Nunez (MN) in [1]. In particular, we calculate the full classical spectrum of the N = 1 * theory with gauge group U (N) in ...
متن کاملMultiple vacua in two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory
Two-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is endowed with a non-trivial vacuum structure (k-sectors). The presence of k-sectors modifies the energy spectrum of the theory and its instanton content, the (Euclidean) space-time being compactified on a sphere. For the exact solution, in the limit in which the sphere is decompactified, a k-sector can be mimicked by the presence of k-fundamental charge...

متن کاملLocalization for Yang-Mills Theory on the Fuzzy Sphere
We present a new model for Yang-Mills theory on the fuzzy sphere in which the configuration space of gauge fields is given by a coadjoint orbit. In the classical limit it reduces to ordinary Yang-Mills theory on the sphere. We find all classical solutions of the gauge theory and use nonabelian localization techniques to write the partition function entirely as a sum over local contributions fro...
متن کاملMesons in marginally deformed AdS/CFT
We study the embedding of spacetime filling D7–branes in β–deformed backgrounds which, according to the AdS/CFT dictionary, corresponds to flavoring β–deformed N = 4 super Yang–Mills. We consider supersymmetric and more general non–supersymmetric three parameter deformations. The equations of motion for quadratic fluctuations of a probe D7–brane wrapped on a deformed three–sphere exhibit a non–...
