Large-N limit of the generalized 2-dimensional Yang-Mills theories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using the standard saddle-point method, we find an explicit relation for the large-N limit of the free energy of an arbitrary generalized 2D Yang-Mills theory in the weak (A < Ac) region. In the strong (A > Ac) region, we investigate carefully the specific fourth Casimir theory, and show that the ordinary integral equation of the density function is not adequate to find the solution. There exist, however, another equation which restricts the parameters. So one can find the free energy in strong region and show that the theory has a third order phase transition. e-mail:[email protected] e-mail:[email protected] e-mail:[email protected]

Phase transitions of Large-N two-dimensional Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories in the double scaling limit
The large-N behavior of Yang-Mills and generalized Yang-Mills theories in the double-scaling limit is investigated. By the double-scaling limit, it is meant that the area of the manifold on which the theory is defined, is itself a function of N . It is shown that phase transitions of different orders occur, depending on the functional dependence of the area on N . The finite-size scalings of th...
متن کاملLarge-N behavior of the Wilson loops of generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories
The large-N limit of the expectation values of the Wilson loops in the fundamental representation, corresponding to two-dimensional U(N) YangMills and generalized Yang-Mills theories on a sphere are studied. The behavior of the expectation values of the Wilson loops both near the critical area and for large areas are investigated. It is shown that the expectation values of the Wilson loops at l...
متن کاملLocalization on the D - brane , two - dimensional gauge theory and matrix models
We consider the effective topological field theory on Euclidean D-strings wrapping on a 2cycle in the internal space. We evaluate the vev of a suitable operator corresponding to the chemical potential of vortices bounded to the D-strings, and find that it reduces to the partition function of generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory as a result of localization. We argue that the partition f...

We consider the effective topological field theory on Euclidean D-strings wrapping on a 2-cycle in the internal space. We evaluate the vev of an appropriate operator corresponding to the chemical potential of D-instantons bounded to the D-strings, and find that it reduces to the partition function of generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory as a result of localization. We argue that the pa...
متن کاملLarge N limit of 2D Yang-Mills Theory and Instanton Counting
We examine the two-dimensional U(N) Yang-Mills theory by using the technique of random partitions. We show that the large N limit of the partition function of the 2D Yang-Mills theory on S reproduces the instanton counting of 4D N = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories introduced by Nekrasov. We also discuss that we can take the “double scaling limit” by fixing the product of the N and cell size in ...
