On the Couplings of the Rho Meson in AdS/QCD
Sungho Hong, Sukjin Yoon, Matthew J. Strassler
We argue that in generic AdS/QCD models (confining gauge theories dual to string theory on a weakly-curved background), the couplings g_{rho HH} of any rho meson to any hadron H ar…
Millenial Messages for QCD from the Superworld and from the String
Matthew J. Strassler
Supersymmetric gauge theories have had a significant impact on our understanding of QCD and of field theory in general. The phases of N=1 supersymmetric QCD (SQCD) are discussed, a…
Non-Supersymmetric Theories with Light Scalar Fields and Large Hierarchies
Matthew J. Strassler
Various nonsupersymmetric theories at large but finite are argued to permit light scalars and large hierarchies without fine-tuning. In a dual string description, the hierarchy…
On Methods for Extracting Exact Non-perturbative Results in Non-supersymmetric Gauge Theories
M. J. Strassler
At large N, a field theory and its orbifolds (given by projecting out some of its fields) share the same planar graphs. If the parent-orbifold relation continues even nonperturbati…
The String Dual of a Confining Four-Dimensional Gauge Theory
Joseph Polchinski, Matthew J. Strassler
We study N=1 gauge theories obtained by adding finite mass terms to N=4 Yang-Mills theory. The Maldacena dual is nonsingular: in each of the many vacua, there is an extended brane…
On Renormalization Group Flows and Exactly Marginal Operators in Three Dimensions
Matthew J. Strassler
As in two and four dimensions, supersymmetric conformal field theories in three dimensions can have exactly marginal operators. These are illustrated in a number of examples with N…
