Thermodynamics of D0-branes in matrix theory
J. Ambjørn, Yu. M. Makeenko, G. W. Semenoff
We examine the matrix theory representation of D0-brane dynamics at finite temperature. In this case, violation of supersymmetry by temperature leads to a non-trivial static potent…
Characterizing Phases of the non-Abelian Coulomb Gas
L. D. Paniak, G. W. Semenoff
The thermodynamic problem of a gas of static quarks carrying U(N) charges and interacting with each other via U(N) electric gauge fields is formulated and solved in the large N lim…
Spectrum of the 2-Flavor Schwinger Model from the Heisenberg Spin Chain
F. Berruto, G. Grignani, G. W. Semenoff +1
We study the strong coupling limit of the 2-flavor lattice Schwinger model in the Hamiltonian formalism using staggered fermions. We show that the problem of finding the low-lying…
Phase transition induced by a magnetic field
G. W. Semenoff, I. A. Shovkovy, L. C. R. Wijewardhana
The magnetic catalysis of discrete chiral symmetry breaking in the 2+1 dimensional Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model is analyzed. A particular attention is paid to a possible application of…
Loops, Surfaces and Grassmann Representation in Two- and Three-Dimensional Ising Models
C. R. Gattringer, S. Jaimungal, G. W. Semenoff
Starting from the known representation of the partition function of the 2- and 3-D Ising models as an integral over Grassmann variables, we perform a hopping expansion of the corre…
