The Spectrum of a Large N Gauge Theory Near Transition from Confinement to Screening

David J. Gross, Akikazu Hashimoto, Igor R. Klebanov

We study the spectrum of 1+1 dimensional large $N$ QCD coupled to an adjoint Majorana fermion of mass $m$. As $m\to 0$ this model makes a transition from confinement to screening.…
