SU (N) gauge theories at large N
We review the theoretical developments and conceptual advances that stemmed from the
generalization of QCD to the limit of a large number of color charges, originally proposed by't …

String fragmentation in supercooled confinement and implications for dark matter
A bstract A strongly-coupled sector can feature a supercooled confinement transition in the
early universe. We point out that, when fundamental quanta of the strong sector are swept …

Glueballs and k-strings in SU (N) gauge theories: Calculations with improved operators
We test a variety of blocking and smearing algorithms for constructing glueball and string
wave-functionals, and find some with much improved overlaps onto the lightest states. We …

All-genus calculation of Wilson loops using D-branes
N Drukker, B Fiol - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
The standard prescription for calculating a Wilson loop in the AdS/CFT correspondence is by
a string world-sheet ending along the loop at the boundary of AdS. For a multiply wrapped …

Non-Abelian Meissner effect in Yang-Mills theories at weak coupling
We present a weak-coupling Yang-Mills model supporting non-Abelian magnetic flux tubes
and non-Abelian confined magnetic monopoles. In the dual description the magnetic flux …

Symmetries, universes and phases of QCD2 with an adjoint Dirac fermion
JA Damia, G Galati, L Tizzano - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2025 - Springer
A bstract We study 2d SU (N) QCD with an adjoint Dirac fermion. Assuming that the IR limit
of the massless theory is captured by a WZW coset CFT, we show that this CFT can be …

Casimir scaling and renormalization of Polyakov loops in large-N gauge theories
A bstract We study Casimir scaling and renormalization properties of Polyakov loops in
different irreducible representations in SU (N) gauge theories; in particular, we investigate …

From super-Yang–Mills theory to QCD: Planar equivalence and its implications
We review and extend our recent work on the planar (large N) equivalence between gauge
theories with varying degrees of supersymmetry. The main emphasis is on the planar …
