The String Calculation of QCD Wilson Loops on Arbitrary Surfaces
Stephen G. Naculich, Harold A. Riggs
Compact string expressions are found for non-intersecting Wilson loops in SU(N) Yang-Mills theory on any surface (orientable or nonorientable) as a weighted sum over covers of the…
The String Calculation of Wilson Loops in Two-Dimensional Yang-Mills Theory
Stephen G. Naculich, Harold A. Riggs, Howard J. Schnitzer
We demonstrate that the large-N expansion of Wilson loop expectation values in SO(N) and Sp(N) Yang-Mills theory on orientable and nonorientable surfaces has a natural description…
Twist Points as Branch Points for the QCD String
Stephen G. Naculich, Harold A. Riggs, Howard J. Schnitzer
We show that the string representation of the QCD partition function satisfies, by virtue of a Young-tableau-transposition symmetry, the topological constraint that any branche…
Integrable N = 2 Landau-Ginzburg Theories from Quotients of Fusion Rings
Eli J. Mlawer, Harold A. Riggs, Howard J. Schnitzer
The discovery of integrable supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg theories whose chiral rings are fusion rings suggests a close connection between fusion rings, the related Landau-G…
CP-Violating Yukawa Couplings in the Skyrme Model and the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment
H. A. Riggs, H. J. Schnitzer
We argue that the large-$\Nc$ behaviour of the Yukawa couplings in the Skyrme model involves issues more subtle than the vanishing of linear fluctuations needed for classical stabi…
Simple-Current Symmetries, Rank-Level Duality, and Linear Skein Relations for Chern-Simons Graphs
Stephen G. Naculich, Harold A. Riggs, Howard J. Schnitzer
A previously proposed two-step algorithm for calculating the expectation values of Chern-Simons graphs fails to determine certain crucial signs. The step which involves calculating…
