Abstract

We study the anomalous dimensions of single trace operators composed of field strengths FμνF_{\mu\nu} in large-N QCD. The matrix of anomalous dimensions is the Hamiltonian of a compact spin chain with two spin one representations at each vertex corresponding to the selfdual and anti-selfdual components of FμνF_{\mu\nu}. Due to the special form of the interaction it is possible to study separately renormalization of purely selfdual components. In this sector the Hamiltonian is integrable and can be exactly solved by Bethe ansatz. Its continuum limit is described by the level two SU(2) WZW model.
