We discuss the equivalence between a string theory and the two-dimensional Yang–Mills theory with SU (N) gauge group for finite N. We find a sector which can be interpreted as a sum of covering maps from closed string worldsheets to the target space, whose covering number is less than N. This gives an asymptotic expansion of 1/N whose large N limit becomes the chiral sector defined by Gross and Taylor. We also discuss that the residual part of the partition function provides the nonperturbative corrections to the perturbative expansion.

Two-dimensional SU (N) Yang–Mills theory is known to be equivalent to a string theory, as found by Gross in the large N limit, using the 1/N expansion. Later it was found that even a generalized YM theory leads to a string theory of the Gross type. In the standard YM theory case, Douglas and others found the string Hamiltonian describing the propagation and the interactions of states made of strings winding on a cylindrical space–time. We address the problem of finding a similar Hamiltonian for the generalized YM theory. As in the standard case we start by writing the theory as a theory of free fermions. Performing a bosonization, we express the Hamiltonian in terms of the modes of a bosonic field, that are interpreted as in the standard case as creation and destruction operators for states of strings winding around the cylindrical space–time. The result is similar to the standard Hamiltonian, but with new kinds of interaction vertices.

The lattice studies of maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (MSYM) theory at strong coupling and large N is important for verifying gauge/gravity duality. Due to the progress made in the last decade, based on ideas from topological twisting and orbifolding, it is now possible to study these theories on the lattice while preserving an exact supersymmetry on the lattice. We present some results from the lattice studies of two-dimensional MSYM which is related to Type II supergravity. Our results agree with the thermodynamics of different black hole phases on the gravity side and the phase transition (Gregory–Laflamme) between them.

Renormalization Group Equations

We show how consistent quantization determines the renormalization of couplings in a quantum field theory coupled to gravity in two dimensions. The special status of couplings corresponding to conformally invariant matter is discussed. In string theory, where the dynamical degree of freedom of the two-dimensional metric plays the role of time in target space, these renormalization group equations are themselves the classical equations of motion. Time independent solutions, like classical vacuua, correspond to the situation in which matter is conformally invariant. Time dependent solutions, like tunnelling configurations between vacuua, correspond to special trajectories in theory space. We discuss an example of such a trajectory in the space containing the c < 1 minimal models. We also discuss the connection between this work and the recent attempts to construct non-perturbative string theories based on matrix models.

Original Formula

We study two-dimensional sigma models where the chiral deformation diminished the original [Formula: see text] supersymmetry to the chiral one, [Formula: see text]. Such heterotic models were discovered previously on the world sheet of non-Abelian stringy solitons supported by certain four-dimensional [Formula: see text] theories. We study geometric aspects and holomorphic properties of these models, and derive a number of exact expressions for the [Formula: see text] functions in terms of the anomalous dimensions analogous to the NSVZ [Formula: see text] function in four-dimensional Yang-Mills. Instanton calculus provides a straightforward method for the derivation.

We show that two-dimensional SO (N) and Sp (N) Yang-Mills theories without fermions can be interpreted as closed string theories. The terms in the 1/N expansion of the partition function on an orientable or nonorientable manifold ℳ can be associated with maps from a string worldsheet onto ℳ. These maps are unbranched and branched covers of ℳ with an arbitrary number of infinitesimal worldsheet cross-caps mapped to points in ℳ. These string theories differ from SU (N) Yang-Mills string theory in that they involve odd powers of 1/N and require both orientable and nonorientable worldsheets.
