Yang—Mills theory - a string theory in disguise

D. Foerster
- 22 Oct 1979 - 
- Vol. 87, pp 87-90
TLDR
An examination of the Schwinger - Dyson equations of U(n) lattice Yang-Mills theory as mentioned in this paper shows that this theory is exactly equivalent to a theory of strings that interact with one another only through their topology.

Doping a Mott insulator: Physics of high-temperature superconductivity

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the physics of high-temperature superconductors from the point of view of the doping of a Mott insulator is presented, with the goal of putting the resonating valence bond idea on a more formal footing.

Doping a Mott Insulator: Physics of High Temperature Superconductivity

TL;DR: In this article, Anderson's idea of the resonating valence bond (RVB) was introduced to describe the spin liquid phase of the undoped Mott insulator, and the slave-boson is introduced to enforce the constraint of no double occupation.

SU(N) gauge theories at large N

TL;DR: In this article, the authors 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 Hooft.

A twisted model for large N lattice gauge theory

TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the large NSU(N) lattice gauge theory, obtained by introducing twisted boundary conditions on the Eguchi-Kawai model, was proposed.

A two-dimensional model for mesons

TL;DR: In this paper, a recently proposed gauge theory for strong interactions, in which the set of planar diagrams play a dominant role, is considered in one space and one time dimension, and it can be reduced to self-energy and ladder diagrams, and they can be summed.

String Representations and Hidden Symmetries for Gauge Fields

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that gauge fields can be considered as chiral fields defined on the space of all possible contours, which leads to an infinite number of functionally conserved currents.

QCD and the string model

TL;DR: In this paper, the path-dependent phase factor P exp(i∫σAμdzμ) in gauge theory is studied and it is shown that it satisfies differential equations which are equivalent to those for a quantized string if the gauge fields meet certain constraints.

Soft dilatons and scale renormalization in dual theories

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the sum over the divergent parts of the dual loops provides a renormalization of the Regge slope α' and the coupling constant g, preserving the relation between the coupling constants of the pomeron and the reggeon sector.

A Functional Equation for Exponential Loop Integrals in Gauge Theories

TL;DR: In this paper, the behavior of the operator ψ(Γ) = Tr P Γ exp (∲A· d x) under variation of the entire closed contour Γ is analyzed.
