Comment on Two Dimensional O(N) and Sp(N) Yang Mills Theories as String Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We write down all orders large N expansions for the dimensions of irreducible representations of O(N) and Sp(N). We interpret all the terms in these expansions as symmetry factors for singular worldsheet configurations, involving collapsed crosscaps and tubes. We use it to complete the interpretation of two dimensional Yang Mills Theories with these gauge groups, on arbitrary two dimensional manifolds, in terms of a String Theory of maps of the type considered by Gross and Taylor. We point out some intriguing similarities to the case of U(N) and discuss their implications.

Six-Dimensional String Theories
We consider N = 1, D = 4 superconformal U(N) Yang-Mills theories dual to AdS5 × S/Zp × Zq orbifolds. We construct the dilatation operator of this superconformal gauge theory at one-loop planar level. We demonstrate that a specific sector of this dilatation operator can be thought of as the transfer matrix for a two-dimensional statistical mechanical system, related to an integrable SU(3) antife...
متن کاملAspects of N T ≥ 2 Topological Gauge Theories and D-branes
We comment on various aspects of topological gauge theories possessing N T ≥ 2 topological symmetry: 1. We show that the construction of Vafa-Witten and Dijkgraaf-Moore of 'bal-anced' topological field theories is equivalent to an earlier construction in terms of N T = 2 superfields inspired by supersymmetric quantum mechanics. 2. We explain the relation between topological field theories calcu...
متن کاملA class of six-dimensional conformal field theories
We describe a class of six-dimensional conformal field theories that have some properties in common with and possibly are related to a subsector of the tensionless string theories. The latter theories can for example give rise to four-dimensional N = 4 superconformal Yang-Mills theories upon compactification on a two-torus. Just like the tensionless string theories, our theories have an ADEclas...
متن کاملOn the relations between correlation functions in SYM/pp–wave correspondence
In this note we establish the explicit relation between correlation functions in N = 4 SUSY Yang–Mills theory on S3×R in a double scaling limit and scattering amplitudes of the String Theory on the pp-wave background. The relation is found for two– and three– point correlation functions in these theories. As a by product we formulate a dictionary for the correspondence between these theories: i...
متن کاملScaling Violations in Yang - Mills Theories and Strings in AdS 5
String solitons in AdS 5 contain information of N = 4 SUSY Yang-Mills theories on the boundary. Recent proposals for rotating string solitons reproduce the spectrum for anomalous dimensions of Wilson operators for the boundary theory. There are possible extensions of this duality for lower supersymmetric and even for non-supesymmetric Yang-Mills theories. We explicitly demonstrate that the supe...
