Composite Strings in (2+1)-Dimensional Anisotropic Weakly-Coupled Yang-Mills Theory
Peter Orland
The small-scale structure of a string connecting a pair of static sources is explored for the weakly-coupled anisotropic SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions. A crucial ingr…
Glueball Masses in (2+1)-Dimensional Anisotropic Weakly-Coupled Yang-Mills Theory
Peter Orland
The confinement problem has been solved in the anisotropic (2+1)-dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory at weak coupling. In this paper, we find the low-lying spectrum for N=2. The li…
Potential Topography and Mass Generation
Maxime Kudinov, Enrique Moreno, Peter Orland
We describe an approach to understanding exponential decay of correlation functions in asymptotically free theories. This approach is systematic; it does not start from any conject…
The Space-Time Manifold as a Critical Solid
Peter Orland
It is argued that the problems of the cosmological constant, stability and renormalizability of quantum gravity can be solved if the space-time manifold arises through spontaneous…
