Transverse Lattice QCD in 2+1 Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on an idea due to Bardeen and Pearson, we formulate the light-front Hamiltonian problem for SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1)-dimensions using two continuous space-time dimensions and the remaining space dimension discretised on a lattice. We employ analytic and numerical methods to investigate the continuum limit and the glueball spectrum for N = ∞. In this limit, EguchiKawai reduction to a (1 + 1)-dimensional theory takes place. Preliminary results show qualitative agreement with recent Euclidean lattice Monte Carlo simulations.

Mesons in transverse lattice QCD at strong coupling and large-N
I have proposed that large-N QCD, with two continuous dimensions on the lightcone and two transverse dimensions on lattice at strong coupling, can be a useful phenomenological model of certain hadronic properties [1]. This combination of large-N and strong coupling limits is chosen to obtain analytically tractable results. The largeN limit allows the use of exact results for two dimensional QCD...
متن کاملLight Front Hamiltonian for Transverse Lattice QCD
A calculational framework for determining masses of low lying hadrons using light front quantization is discussed. The method is based upon four theoretical tools: discrete light cone quantization, which has been very successful in 1 + 1 dimensional models, a projector Monte Carlo method to extract low lying state data with 2 additional transverse dimensions, the transverse spatial lattice Hami...
متن کاملLarge-N QCD at strong transverse lattice gauge coupling
We had previously obtained an integral equation for mesons in transverse lattice QCD, in the limit of large number of colours and strong transverse lattice gauge coupling [1]. This equation is a generalisation of the ’t Hooft equation [2], by inclusion of the spin degrees of freedom. We analyse this equation to extract spectral properties and light-front wavefunctions of mesons. We also extend ...
متن کاملA derivation of Regge trajectories in large−N transverse lattice QCD
Large-N QCD is analysed in light-front coordinates with a transverse lattice at strong coupling. The general formalism can be looked up on as a d+n expansion with a stack of d−dimensional hyperplanes uniformly spaced in n transverse dimensions. It can arise by application of the renormalisation group transformations only in the transverse directions. At leading order in strong coupling, the gau...
متن کاملTransverse Lattice Approach to Light-Front Hamiltonian QCD
We describe a non-perturbative procedure for solving from first principles the light-front Hamiltonian problem of SU(N) pure gauge theory in D spacetime dimensions (D ≥ 3), based on enforcing Lorentz covariance of observables. A transverse lattice regulator and colour-dielectric link fields are employed, together with an associated effective potential. We argue that the lightfront vacuum is nec...
