Large N limit of orbifold field theories

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

We consider certain orbifoldization of the N=4{\cal N}=4 field theories that leads to N=2,1,0{\cal N}=2,1,0 field theories in 4 dimensions. These theories were recently analyzed using the string theory perturbation technique. It was found that in the large NN limit all correlation functions of the orbifold theories coincide with those of N=4{\cal N}=4, modulo the rescaling of the gauge coupling constant. In this paper we repeat the same analysis using the field theoretical language.
