The endpoint of partial deconfinement
David Berenstein, Kai Yan
We study the matrix quantum mechanics of two free hermitian matrices subject to a singlet constraint in the microcanonical ensemble. This is the simplest example of a t…
Integrable Spin Chains from large- QCD at strong coupling
David Berenstein, Hiroki Kawai
We study a spin chain for a confining string that arises at first order in degenerate perturbation from the strong-coupling expansion of the Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian on a square…
One-dimensional reflection in the quantum mechanical bootstrap
David Berenstein, George Hulsey
We describe the application of the quantum mechanical bootstrap to the solution of one-dimensional scattering problems. By fixing a boundary and modulating the Robin parameter of t…
Chaotic LLM billiards
David Berenstein, Elliot Maderazo, Robinson Mancilla +1
We study null geodesics of the ten-dimensional LLM geometries. In particular, we show that there are a subset of these null geodesics that are confined to the LLM plane. The effect…
Staggered bosons
David Berenstein
A model with a half boson degree of freedom per lattice site in one dimension is developed. The boson is protected from developing a gap by translation symmetry: while the left mov…
