Some remarks on the "classical" large N limit

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

It has been proposed some time ago that the large NN-limit can be understood as a ``classical limit'', where commutators in some sense approach the corresponding Poisson brackets. We discuss this in the light of some recent numerical results for an SU(N) gauge model, which do not agree with this ``classicality'' of the large N-limit. The world sheet becomes very crumpled. We speculate that this effect would disappear in supersymmetric models.
