Lattice Regularization

We review a recently developed framework employing computable Renormalization Group (RG) decimations for gauge theories in the lattice regularization. They provide upper and lower bounds at every scale for free energies and some order parameters. By interpolating between these bounds representations of the exact quantities are obtained at progressively longer scales (coarser lattices). In the case of the SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions RG flow to the confining strongly coupled regime is obtained for any initial coupling; whereas for the U(1) theory a fixed point is reached for small initial coupling.

Renormalization Group Equations

We describe a technically very simple analytical approach to the deep infrared regime of Yang–Mills theory in the Landau gauge via Callan–Symanzik renormalization group equations in an epsilon expansion. This approach recovers all the solutions for the infrared gluon and ghost propagators previously found by solving the Dyson–Schwinger equations of the theory and singles out the solution with decoupling behavior, confirmed by lattice calculations, as the only one corresponding to an infrared attractive fixed point (for space-time dimensions above two). For the case of four dimensions, we describe the crossover of the system from the ultraviolet to the infrared fixed point and determine the complete momentum dependence of the propagators. The results for different renormalization schemes are compared to the lattice data.

Gauge/string correspondence provides an efficient method to investigate gauge theories. In this talk we discuss the results of the paper (to appear) by P. Benincasa, A. Buchel and A. O. Starinets, where the propagation of sound waves is studied in a strongly coupled non-conformal gauge theory plasma. In particular, a prediction for the speed of sound as well as for the bulk viscosity is made for the [Formula: see text] gauge theory in the high temperature limit. As expected, the results achieved show a deviation from the speed of sound and the bulk viscosity for a conformal theory. It is pointed out that such results depend on the particular gauge theory considered.

We review in a pedagogical manner some of the efforts aimed at extending the gauge/gravity correspondence to nonconformal supersymmetric gauge theories in four dimensions. After giving a general overview, we discuss in detail two specific examples: fractional D-branes on orbifolds and D-branes wrapped on supersymmetric cycles of Calabi–Yau spaces. We explore in particular which gauge theory information can be extracted from the corresponding supergravity solutions, and what the remaining open problems are. We also briefly explain the connection between these and other approaches, such as fractional branes on conifolds, branes suspended between branes, M5-branes on Riemann surfaces and M-theory on G2-holonomy manifolds, and discuss the role played by geometric transitions in all that.

The weakly coupled globally invariant Nambu-Jona-Lasino (NJL) model in 2+1 dimensions is shown to be equivalent to a strongly coupled gauge theory. This equivalence is demonstrated for the renormalized theories in the 1/N expansion utilizing an unconventional, cutoff-dependent bare coupling constant to take the limit of weak or strong bare couplings. The weakly coupled Abelian NJL model is renormalized to order 1/N and compared to a renormalized strongly coupled QED3. Next, the U(2) globally invariant NJL model is studied in the broken phase and renormalized to leading order. The resulting U(1)×U(1) gauge-invariant theory is shown to be equivalent to a spontaneously broken U(2) gauge theory analyzed in the 1/N expansion.

Dimensional Models

In this review we summarize the ongoing effort to study extra-dimensional gauge theories with lattice simulations. In these models the Higgs field is identified with extra-dimensional components of the gauge field. The Higgs potential is generated by quantum corrections and is protected from divergences by the higher dimensional gauge symmetry. Dimensional reduction to four dimensions can occur through compactification or localization. Gauge-Higgs unification models are often studied using perturbation theory. Numerical lattice simulations are used to go beyond these perturbative expectations and to include nonperturbative effects. We describe the known perturbative predictions and their fate in the strongly-coupled regime for various extra-dimensional models.

Double Copy

Abstract Using the principles of the modern scattering amplitudes programme, we develop a formalism for constructing the amplitudes of three-dimensional topologically massive gauge theories and gravity. Inspired by recent developments in four dimensions, we construct the three-dimensional equivalent of x-variables, first defined in [1], for conserved matter currents coupled to topologically massive gauge bosons or gravitons. Using these, we bootstrap various matter-coupled gauge-theory and gravitational scattering amplitudes, and conjecture that topologically massive gauge theory and topologically massive gravity are related by the double copy. To motivate this idea further, we show explicitly that the Landau gauge propagator on the gauge theory side double copies to the de Donder gauge propagator on the gravity side.

Abstract We propose some new infra-red dualities for 2d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = (0, 2) theories. The first one relates a USp(2N) gauge theory with one antisymmetric chiral, four fundamental chirals and N Fermi singlets to a Landau-Ginzburg model of N Fermi and 6N chiral fields with cubic interactions. The second one relates SU(2) linear quiver gauge theories of arbitrary length N − 1 with the addition of N Fermi singlets for any non-negative integer N. They can be understood as a generalization of the duality between an SU(2) gauge theory with four fundamental chirals and a Landau-Ginzburg model of one Fermi and six chirals with a cubic interaction. We derive these dualities from already known 4d$$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 1 dualities by compactifications on $$ {\mathbbm{S}}^2 $$ S 2 with suitable topological twists and we further test them by matching anomalies and elliptic genera. We also show how to derive them by iterative applications of some more fundamental dualities, in analogy with similar derivations for parent dualities in three and four dimensions.

Soft Supersymmetry Breaking

Abstract Motivated by applications to soft supersymmetry breaking, we revisit the expansion of the Seiberg-Witten solution around the multi-monopole point on the Coulomb branch of pure SU(N) $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 2 gauge theory in four dimensions. At this point N − 1 mutually local magnetic monopoles become massless simultaneously, and in a suitable duality frame the gauge couplings logarithmically run to zero. We explicitly calculate the leading threshold corrections to this logarithmic running from the Seiberg-Witten solution by adapting a method previously introduced by D’Hoker and Phong. We compare our computation to existing results in the literature; this includes results specific to SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theories, the large-N results of Douglas and Shenker, as well as results obtained by appealing to integrable systems or topological strings. We find broad agreement, while also clarifying some lingering inconsistencies. Finally, we explicitly extend the results of Douglas and Shenker to finite N , finding exact agreement with our first calculation.

Insight Into

We review the status of recent investigations on validating the gauge-gravity duality conjecture through numerical simulations of strongly coupled maximally supersymmetric thermal gauge theories. In the simplest setting, the gauge-gravity duality connects systems of D0-branes and black hole geometries at finite temperature to maximally supersymmetric gauged quantum mechanics at the same temperature. Recent simulations show that nonperturbative gauge theory results give excellent agreement with the quantum gravity predictions, thus proving strong evidence for the validity of the duality conjecture and more insight into quantum black holes and gravity.
