QCD matter in extreme environments

K Fukushima - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We review various theoretical approaches to the states of quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
matter out of quarks and gluons in extreme environments such as the high-temperature …

Vacuum structure of bifundamental gauge theories at finite topological angles

Y Tanizaki, Y Kikuchi - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We discuss possible vacuum structures of SU (n)× SU (n) gauge theories with
bifundamental matters at finite θ angles. In order to give a precise constraint, a mixed't Hooft …

Nonperturbative determination of the supersymmetric Yang-Mills gluino condensate at large

We present the first nonperturbative large N calculation of the N= 1 supersymmetric SU (N)
Yang-Mills gluino condensate obtained by means of numerical simulations of the lattice …

Spectrum of QCD with one flavor: A window for supersymmetric dynamics

M Della Morte, B Jäger, F Sannino, JT Tsang… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We compute the spectrum of the low-lying mesonic states with vector, scalar and
pseudoscalar quantum numbers in QCD with one flavor. With three colors the fundamental …

On the dynamical origin of the η′ potential and the axion mass

C Csáki, RT D'Agnolo, RS Gupta, E Kuflik… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the dynamics responsible for generating the potential of the η′, the
(would-be) Goldstone boson associated with the anomalous axial U (1) symmetry of QCD …

Semiclassics with't Hooft flux background for QCD with 2-index quarks

Y Tanizaki, M Ünsal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We study quantum chromodynamics including the two-index symmetric or anti-
symmetric quark (QCD (Sym/ASym)) on small ℝ 2× T 2 with a suitable magnetic flux. We first …

QCD-like theories on : A smooth journey from small to large <?format ?>with double-trace deformations

M Shifman, M Uensal - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2008 - APS
We consider QCD-like theories with one massless fermion in various representations of the
gauge group SU (N). The theories are formulated on R 3× S 1. In the decompactification limit …

Supersymmetry Relics in One-Flavor QCD from a New Expansion

A Armoni, M Shifman, G Veneziano - Physical review letters, 2003 - APS
We suggest a new large-N c limit for multiflavor QCD. Since fundamental and two-index
antisymmetric representations are equivalent in SU (3), we have the option to define SU (N …

Beta functions of 2D adjoint QCD

A Cherman, M Neuzil - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We discuss the long-distance physics of 2D adjoint QCD when it is viewed as an effective
field theory and determine the β functions for its two classically marginal four-Fermi …

(In)validity of large orientifold equivalence

M Ünsal, LG Yaffe - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2006 - APS
It has been argued that the bosonic sectors of supersymmetric SU (N) Yang-Mills theory, and
of QCD with a single fermion in the antisymmetric (or symmetric) tensor representation, are …
