A String Theory for Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory II
Ofer Aharony, Suman Kundu, Tal Sheaffer
In earlier work we proposed a string theory dual to two dimensional Yang-Mills theory at zero coupling (which can also be thought of as a theory), given by a Polyakov-like gen…
Effective Strings in QED
Ofer Aharony, Netanel Barel, Tal Sheaffer
Effective string theory describes the physics of long confining strings in theories, like Yang-Mills theory, where the mass gap is of the same order as the string tensi…
A String Theory for Two Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory I
Ofer Aharony, Suman Kundu, Tal Sheaffer
Two dimensional gauge theories with charged matter fields are useful toy models for studying gauge theory dynamics, and in particular for studying the duality of large gauge th…
Full Phase Diagram of a UV Completed Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons Matter Theory
Adar Sharon, Tal Sheaffer
We study the large phase diagram of an asymptotically free UV completion of super-Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory coupled to a single massive fundamental…
