Almost Conformal Vacua and Confinement

Roberto Auzzi, Roberto Grena, Kenichi Konishi

Dynamics of confining vacua which appear as deformed superconformal theory with a non-Abelian gauge symmetry, is studied by taking a concrete example of the sextet vacua of ${\cal…

IIB Soliton Spectra with All Fluxes Activated

Jarah Evslin

Building upon an earlier proposal for the classification of fluxes, a sequence is proposed which generalizes the AHSS by computing type IIB string theory's group of conserved RR an…

SUSY vs E8 Gauge Theory in 11 Dimensions

Jarah Evslin, Hisham Sati

Diaconescu, Moore and Witten have shown that the topological part of the M-theory partition function is an invariant of an E8 gauge bundle over the 11-dimensional bulk. This presen…

Higgs- and quark-inspired modifications of the finite-temperature properties of the Polyakov model

D. Antonov

(2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model, else called the Polyakov model, is explored at nonzero temperatures and in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy. The fini…

Inequalities for trace anomalies, length of the RG flow, distance between the fixed points and irreversibility

Damiano Anselmi

I discuss several issues about the irreversibility of the RG flow and the trace anomalies c, a and a'. First I argue that in quantum field theory: i) the scheme-invariant area Delt…

Exact Witten Index in D=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics

Massimo Campostrini, Jacek Wosiek

A new, recursive method of calculating matrix elements of polynomial hamiltonians is proposed. It is particularly suitable for the recent algebraic studies of the supersymmetric Ya…

Free energy and theta dependence of SU(N) gauge theories

L. Del Debbio, H. Panagopoulos, E. Vicari

We study the dependence of the free energy on the CP violating angle theta, in four-dimensional SU(N) gauge theories with N >= 3, and in the large-N limit. Using the Wilson lattice…

Functional approach to 2+1 dimensional gravity coupled to particles

Luigi Cantini, Pietro Menotti

The quantum gravity problem of N point particles interacting with the gravitational field in 2+1 dimensions is approached working out the phase-space functional integral. The maxim…

Scattering in the Presence of a Reflecting and Transmitting Impurity

M. Mintchev, E. Ragoucy, P. Sorba

We investigate factorized scattering from a reflecting and transmitting impurity. Bulk scattering is non trivial, provided that the bulk scattering matrix depends separately on the…

Non-Abelian Monopoles, Vortices and Confinement

K. Konishi

Three closely related issues will be discussed. Magnetic quarks having non-Abelian charges have been found recently to appear as the dominant infrared degrees of freedom in some va…

Exploring quark-gluon plasma on the loop space

Dmitri Antonov

Langevin equation describing soft modes in the quark-gluon plasma is reformulated on the loop space. The Cauchy problem for the resulting loop equation is solved for the case when…

Finite-temperature behavior of the (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model with and without quarks

Dmitri Antonov

(2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model and its SU(N)-generalization are explored at nonzero temperatures and in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy. The finiten…

Non Abelian Magnetic Monopoles and Dynamics of Confinement

Stefano Bolognesi, Kenichi Konishi

Magnetic monopoles having non-Abelian charges have been found recently to play a crucial role in the infrared in a class of supersymmetric gauge theories. We argue that these "dual…

String representation of the SU(N)-inspired dual Abelian-Higgs-type theory with the -term

Dmitri Antonov

String representation of the gauge-invariant dual Abelian-Higgs-type theory, which is relevant to the SU(N)-QCD with the -term and provides confinement of quarks,…

Non-universal corrections to the tension ratios in softly broken N=2 SU(N) gauge theory

Roberto Auzzi, Kenichi Konishi

Calculation by Douglas and Shenker of the tension ratios for vortices of different N-alities in the softly broken N=2 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, is carried to the seco…

Higgs-inspired corrections to the RG flow in the finite-temperature 3D Georgi-Glashow model and its SU(N)-generalization

Dmitri Antonov

The Berezinsky-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) RG flow in the ensemble of monopoles existing in the finite-temperature (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model is explored in the regime when the Higg…

Deconfining phase transition in the 3D Georgi-Glashow model with finite Higgs-boson mass

Dmitri Antonov

The (2+1)D Georgi-Glashow model is explored at finite temperature in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy. The resulting Higgs-mediated interaction of monopoles…

Liouville theory, accessory parameters and 2+1 dimensional gravity

Luigi Cantini, Pietro Menotti, Domenico Seminara

We prove a relation between the asymptotic behavior of the conformal factor and the accessory parameters of the SU(1,1) Riemann- Hilbert problem. Such a relation shows the hamilton…

Anomalies, Fayet-Iliopoulos terms and the consistency of orbifold field theories

R. Barbieri, R. Contino, P. Creminelli +2

We study the consistency of orbifold field theories and clarify to what extent the condition of having an anomaly-free spectrum of zero-modes is sufficient to guarantee it. Preserv…

Accounting for the finiteness of the Higgs-boson mass in the 3D Georgi-Glashow model

Dmitri Antonov

(2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model is explored in the regime when the Higgs boson is not infinitely heavy, but its mass is rather of the same order of magnitude as the mass of…
