A real-space renormalization-group calculation for the quantum Z_2 gauge theory on a square lattice
Steve T. Paik
We revisit Fradkin and Raby's real-space renormalization-group method to study the quantum Z_2 gauge theory defined on links forming a two-dimensional square lattice. Following an…
Teaching renormalization, scaling, and universality with an example from quantum mechanics
Steve T. Paik
We discuss the quantum mechanics of a particle restricted to the half-line with potential energy for . It is known that two scale-invariant theorie…
Is the mean free path the mean of a distribution?
Steve T. Paik
We bring attention to the fact that Maxwell's mean free path for a dilute hard-sphere gas in thermal equilibrium, , which is ordinarily obtained by multiplying t…
Screening in strongly coupled N=2* supersymmetric Yang-Mills plasma
Carlos Hoyos, Steve Paik, Laurence G. Yaffe
Using gauge-gravity duality, we extend thermodynamic studies and present results for thermal screening masses in strongly coupled N=2* supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. This non-co…
Thermodynamics of SU(2) N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory
Steve Paik, Laurence G. Yaffe
The thermodynamics of four-dimensional SU(2) N=2 super-Yang-Mills theory is examined in both high and low temperature regimes. At low temperatures, compelling evidence is found for…
Holographic Double Diffractive Scattering
Christopher P. Herzog, Steve Paik, Matthew J. Strassler +1
The holographic description of Pomeron exchange in a strongly-coupled gauge theory with an AdS dual is extended to the case of two to three scattering. We study the production even…
