Two approaches to adjoint QCD_2

by Silviu Pufu (Princeton University)

Wednesday Feb 21, 2024, 1:30 PM → 3:00 PM Asia/Seoul

In this talk, I will discuss the 2d SU(N) gauge theory coupled to an adjoint Majorana fermion using two methods.  The first method is Discretized Light-Cone Quantization, which I will use to show that at large N the fundamental string tension vanishes when the adjoint fermion is massless.  I will also describe the computation of the spectrum at finite N.  In the second part of the talk, I will introduce a Hamiltonian lattice model that can also be used to compute the spectrum as well as other observables using analytical and numerical techniques.
