| 12/13/2017 | HEP Seminar | Erich Poppitz | Confinement and strings in circle-compactified gauge theories: 'same and different' [ -- Description ] |
| Description: I will begin by describing how compactifying certain 4d gauge theories on a circle allows one to divorce “nonperturbative” from “strong coupling,” thus permitting a controlled analytic study of difficult questions, such as the generation of Yang-Mills mass gap, confinement, and chiral symmetry breaking. I will argue that even though confinement in this regime is abelian, due to the unbroken center symmetry, many of its features come closer to those of 4d theories, compared to other calculable theories with confinement (Seiberg-Witten theory). I will focus, in a non-technical way and largely using pictures, on the properties of confining strings and will show how they illustrate a variety of nontrivial phenomena in a transparent way. I will end by discussing the nature and puzzles surrounding a peculiar large-N limit. (2:00 PM, 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar) |
