Deconfinement in Yang-Mills theory through toroidal compactification with deformation
Dusan Simic, Mithat Unsal
We introduce field theory techniques through which the deconfinement transition of four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory can be moved to a semi-classical domain where it becomes calcu…

Large-N volume independence in conformal and confining gauge theories
Mithat Unsal, Laurence G. Yaffe
Consequences of large volume independence are examined in conformal and confining gauge theories. In the large limit, gauge theories compactified on $\R^{d-k} \times (S^1)^…

AdS/CFT and large-N volume independence
Erich Poppitz, Mithat Unsal
We study the Eguchi-Kawai reduction in the strong-coupling domain of gauge theories via the gravity dual of N=4 super-Yang-Mills on R^3xS^1. We show that D-branes geometrize volume…
