Non-perturbative equivalences among large N gauge theories with adjoint and bifundamental matter fields
Pavel Kovtun, Mithat Unsal, Laurence G. Yaffe
We prove an equivalence, in the large N limit, between certain U(N) gauge theories containing adjoint representation matter fields and their orbifold projections. Lattice regulariz…
Hydrodynamic Fluctuations, Long-time Tails, and Supersymmetry
Pavel Kovtun, Laurence G. Yaffe
Hydrodynamic fluctuations at non-zero temperature can cause slow relaxation toward equilibrium even in observables which are not locally conserved. A classic example is the stress-…
Transport coefficients in high temperature gauge theories: (II) Beyond leading log
Peter Arnold, Guy D. Moore, Laurence G. Yaffe
Results are presented of a full leading-order evaluation of the shear viscosity, flavor diffusion constants, and electrical conductivity in high temperature QCD and QED. The presen…
