Comments on the String dual to N=1 SQCD
Carlos Hoyos-Badajoz, Carlos Nunez, Ioannis Papadimitriou
We study the String dual to N=1 SQCD deformed by a quartic superpotential in the quark superfields. We present a unified view of the previous results in the literature and find new…
A Non-Supersymmetric Large-N 3D CFT And Its Gravity Dual
Adi Armoni, Asad Naqvi
We propose a three dimensional non-supersymmetric theory that is conformal in the large N limit. In a certain well defined bosonic sub-sector of gauge invariant operators, this the…
Lattice Study of Planar Equivalence: The Quark Condensate
Adi Armoni, Biagio Lucini, Agostino Patella +1
We study quenched SU(N) gauge theories with fermions in the two-index symmetric, antisymmetric and the adjoint representations. Our main motivation is to check whether at large num…
Quantum Broadening of k-Strings from the AdS/CFT Correspondence
Adi Armoni, Jefferson M. Ridgway
We study the quantum broadening (width) of k-strings. We generalise an old result by Luscher, Munster and Weisz to the case of a k-string, by using the gauge/gravity correspondence…
Skyrmions in Yang--Mills Theories with Massless Adjoint Quarks
R. Auzzi, S. Bolognesi, M. Shifman
Dynamics of SU(N_c) Yang--Mills theories with N_f adjoint Weyl fermions is quite different from that of SU(N_c) gauge theories with fundamental quarks. The symmetry breaking patter…
The Hagedorn Temperature and Open QCD-String Tachyons in Pure N=1 Super Yang-Mills
Adi Armoni, Timothy J. Hollowood
We consider large-N confining gauge theories with a Hagedorn density of states. In such theories the potential between a pair of colour-singlet sources may diverge at a critical di…
