Anomalies, a mod 2 index, and dynamics of 2d adjoint QCD

A Cherman, T Jacobson, Y Tanizaki, M Ünsal - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
We show that $2 $ d adjoint QCD, an $ SU (N) $ gauge theory with one massless adjoint
Majorana fermion, has a variety of mixed't Hooft anomalies. The anomalies are derived …

Cheshire cat resurgence, self-resurgence and quasi-exact solvable systems

C Kozçaz, T Sulejmanpasic, Y Tanizaki… - … in Mathematical Physics, 2018 - Springer
We explore a one parameter ζ ζ-deformation of the quantum-mechanical Sine-Gordon and
Double-Well potentials which we call the Double Sine-Gordon (DSG) and the Tilted Double …

Prospects for large N gauge theories on the lattice

MG Perez - arxiv preprint arxiv:2001.10859, 2020 - arxiv.org
I will review recent progress on addressing large N gauge theories on the lattice. The focus
will be put on the use of large N volume independence as an effective tool to compute non …

Asymptotics for -fold partition diamonds and related infinite products

K Bringmann, W Craig, J Males - arxiv preprint arxiv:2311.11805, 2023 - arxiv.org
We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of $ d $-fold partition diamonds of $ n $ and
their Schmidt-type counterparts. In order to do so, we study the asymptotic behavior of …

Bose-Fermi cancellations without supersymmetry

A Cherman, M Shifman, M Ünsal - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We show that adjoint QCD features very strong Bose-Fermi cancellations in the large-N limit,
despite the fact that it is manifestly nonsupersymmetric. The difference between the bosonic …

A Cherman, DA McGady, M Yamazaki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We consider asymptotically-free four-dimensional large-N gauge theories with
massive fermionic and bosonic adjoint matter fields, compactified on squashed three …

Temperature-reflection II: Modular Invariance and T-reflection

DA McGady - arxiv preprint arxiv:1806.09873, 2018 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we present robust evidence that general finite temperature quantum field
theory (QFT) path integrals are invariant under reflecting temperatures to negative values (T …

Temperature-reflection I: field theory, ensembles, and interactions

DA McGady - arxiv preprint arxiv:1711.07536, 2017 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we revisit the claim that many partition functions are invariant under reflecting
temperatures to negative values (T-reflection). The goal of this paper is to demarcate which …

Flow of Hagedorn singularities and phase transitions in large gauge theories

A Cherman, S Kamata, T Schäfer, M Ünsal - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We investigate the singularity structure of the (-1) F graded partition function in QCD with
nf≥ 1 massive adjoint fermions in the large-N limit. Here, F is fermion number and N is the …

L-functions for meromorphic modular forms and sum rules in conformal field theory

DA McGady - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We define L-functions for meromorphic modular forms that are regular at cusps,
and use them to:(i) find new relationships between Hurwitz class numbers and traces of …
