Large-N Gauge Theories
Yuri Makeenko
Four pedagogical Lectures at the NATO-ASI on "Quantum Geometry" in Akureyri, Iceland, August 1999. Contents: 1. O(N) Vector Models, 2. Large-N QCD, 3. QCD in Loop Space, 4. Large-N…
Applications of Supersymmetric Matrix Models
Yu. Makeenko
Matrix models have wide applications in nuclear theory, condensed matter theory and quantum field theory. I discuss supersymmetric extensions of matrix models and their application…
Threshold Multiparticle Amplitudes in Phi^4 Theories at Large N
Yu. Makeenko
I review some recent work on the problem of multiparticle production in a phi^4-theory with an O(N) symmetry. Threshold amplitudes with fixed number of produced particles are exact…
Matrix Models of 2D Gravity and Induced QCD
Yu. Makeenko
I review some recent works on the Hermitean one-matrix and d-dimensional gauge-invariant matrix models. Special attention is paid to solving the models at large-N by the loop equat…
Matrix Models of Induced Large-N QCD
Yu. Makeenko
I review recent works on the problem of inducing large-N QCD by matrix fields. In the first part of the talk I describe the matrix models which induce large-N QCD and present the r…
Solving the Conformal Bootstrap: Four-Fermion Interactions at 2<d<4
Wei Chen, Yuri Makeenko, Gordon W Semenoff
We formulate the conformal bootstrap approach to four--fermion theory at its strong coupling fixed point in dimensions . We present a solution of the bootstrap equations in…
