Dominant Young Diagrams in Matrix Models and Partial Deconfinement

Hidehiko Shimada, Hiromasa Watanabe

We discuss dominant representations (or Young diagrams), in thermal matrix models with gauge symmetry from the perspective of partial deconfinement. We propose a prescription for d…

New phases in QCD at finite temperature and chemical potential

Masanori Hanada, Jack Holden, Hiromasa Watanabe

Understanding the phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) at finite temperature and baryon density is crucial for describing matter in heavy-ion collisions and the interior of neutr…

Partial deconfinement in QCD at and

Masanori Hanada, Hiroki Ohata, Hidehiko Shimada +1

We describe how the general mechanism of partial deconfinement applies to large- QCD and the partially-deconfined phase inevitably appears between completely-confined and comple…

On thermal transition in QCD

Masanori Hanada, Hiromasa Watanabe

We describe how the general mechanism of partial deconfinement applies to large- QCD and the partially-deconfined phase inevitably appears between completely-confined and comple…

A new perspective on thermal transition in QCD

Masanori Hanada, Hiroki Ohata, Hidehiko Shimada +1

Motivated by the picture of partial deconfinement developed in recent years for large- gauge theories, we propose a new way of analyzing and understanding thermal phase transiti…

Semiclassical analysis of the bifundamental QCD on with 't Hooft flux

Yui Hayashi, Yuya Tanizaki, Hiromasa Watanabe

We study the phase structure of bifundamental quantum chromodynamics (QCD(BF)), which is the -dimensional gauge theory coupled with the bifundamental fermio…

Calculation of the pion charge radius from an improved model-independent method

Kohei Sato, Hiromasa Watanabe, Takeshi Yamazaki

We propose a new improved model-independent method for calculating the pion charge radius. In a recently-proposed model-independent method for the pion charge radius, we find it di…

On the existence of the NS5-brane limit of the plane wave matrix model

Yuhma Asano, Goro Ishiki, Takaki Matsumoto +2

We consider a double scaling limit of the plane wave matrix model (PWMM), in which the gravity dual geometry of PWMM reduces to a class of spherical NS5-brane solutions. We identif…

Partial deconfinement: a brief overview

Masanori Hanada, Hiromasa Watanabe

The confinement/deconfinement transition in gauge theory plays important roles in physics, including the description of thermal phase transitions in the dual gravitational theory.…

Precision test of gauge/gravity duality in D0-brane matrix model at low temperature

Stratos Pateloudis, Georg Bergner, Masanori Hanada +5

We test the gauge/gravity duality between the matrix model and type IIA string theory at low temperatures with unprecedented accuracy. To this end, we perform lattice Monte Carlo s…

Confinement/deconfinement transition in the D0-brane matrix model -- A signature of M-theory?

Georg Bergner, Norbert Bodendorfer, Masanori Hanada +5

We study the confinement/deconfinement transition in the D0-brane matrix model (often called the BFSS matrix model) and its one-parameter deformation (the BMN matrix model) numeric…

Partial Deconfinement at Strong Coupling on the Lattice

Hiromasa Watanabe, Georg Bergner, Norbert Bodendorfer +5

We provide evidence for partial deconfinement -- the deconfinement of a SU() subgroup of the SU() gauge group -- by using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. We take matrix mode…

Partial deconfinement in gauge theories

Masanori Hanada, Goro Ishiki, Hiromasa Watanabe

We provide the evidence for the existence of partially deconfined phase in large- gauge theory. In this phase, the SU() subgroup of SU() gauge group deconfines, where $\fr…

Partial Deconfinement

Masanori Hanada, Goro Ishiki, Hiromasa Watanabe

We argue that the confined and deconfined phases in gauge theories are connected by a partially deconfined phase (i.e. SU(M) in SU(N), where M<N, is deconfined), which can be stabl…
