Solution of gauge theories induced by fundamental representation scalars

چکیده
Gauge theories induced by scalars in the fundamental representation of the U(Nc)gauge×U(Nf )global group are investigated in the large Nc and Nf limit. A master field is defined from bilinears of the scalar field following an Eguchi-Kawai type reduction of spacetime. The density function for the master field satisfies an integral equation that can be solved exactly in two dimensions (D = 2) and in a convergent series of approximations at D > 2. While at D = 2 the system is in the same phase at all ǫ = Nc/Nf , it undergoes a phase transition at a critical value, ǫc(D), for D > 2.

Non-Abelian Walls in Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
The Bogomol’nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield (BPS) multi-wall solutions are constructed in supersymmetric U(NC) gauge theories in five dimensions with NF(> NC) hypermultiplets in the fundamental representation. Exact solutions are obtained with full generic moduli for infinite gauge coupling and with partial moduli for finite gauge coupling. The generic wall solutions require nontrivial configurations fo...
متن کاملStatic Mass Scales in Hot Gauge Theories
The static sectors of the electroweak Standard Model and QCD at finite temperatures are described by 3d SU(N) Higgs models with scalars in the fundamental and adjoint representation, respectively. I summarize the non-perturbative physics of these theories like mass spectrum, string tension, screening of the static potential and non-perturbative corrections to the Debye mass, as obtained from re...
متن کاملComplementarity and chiral fermions in SU(2) gauge theories.
Complementarity the absence of a phase boundary separating the Higgs and confinement phases of a gauge theory can be violated by the addition of chiral fermions. We utilize chiral symmetry violating fermion correlators such as 〈ψ̄ψ〉 as order parameters to investigate this issue. Using inequalities similar to those of Vafa-Witten and Weingarten, we show that SU(2) gauge theories with Higgs and fe...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Gauge Theories and ADE Monopoles
We study three-dimensional N = 4 gauge theories with product gauge groups constructed from ADE Dynkin diagrams. One-loop corrections to the metric on the Coulomb branch are shown to coincide with the metric on the moduli space of wellseperated ADE monopoles. We propose that this correspondence is exact. Introduction There exists a correspondence between three-dimensional gauge theories and mono...
متن کاملDecoupling Structure of the Principal Sigma Model-Maxwell Interactions
The principal sigma model and Abelian gauge fields coupling is studied. By expressing the first-order formulation of the gauge field equations an implicit on-shell scalar-gauge field decoupling structure is revealed. It is also shown that due to this decoupling structure the scalars of the theory belong to the pure sigma model and the gauge fields sector consists of a number of coupled Maxwell ...
