We consider large N gauge theory on a two dimensional lattice in the presence of a baryonic chemical potential. We work with one copy of naive fermion and argue that reduction holds even in the presence of a chemical potential. Analytical…
We summarize our results concerning the spectrum and mass anomalous dimension of SU(2) gauge theories with various numbers of fermions in the adjoint representation, where each Majorana fermion corresponds effectively to half a Dirac…
We formulate a complete path integral bosonization procedure for any fermionic theory in two dimensions. The method works equally well for massive and massless fermions, and is a generalization of an approach suggested earlier by Andrianov.…
Significant effort has been devoted to the study of "non-Fermi liquid" (NFL) metals: gapless conducting systems that lack a quasiparticle description. One class of NFL metals involves a finite density of fermions interacting with soft order…
In this paper we study the large $N$ solution to matrix models describing the partition functions of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories on $S^3$. The model we focus on has a single $U(N)$ gauge group and fundamental fields, whose number…
We develop a technique that solders the dual aspects of some symmetry. Using this technique it is possible to combine two theories with such symmetries to yield a new effective theory. Some applications in two and three dimensional…
In two dimensions the simple addition of two chiral bosons of opposite chiralities does not lead to a full massless scalar field. Similarly, in three dimensions the addition of two Maxwell-Chern-Simons fields of opposite helicities $\pm 1$…
Supersymmetric theories with the same bosonic content but different fermions, aka \emph{twins}, were thought to exist only for supergravity. Here we show that pairs of super conformal field theories, for example exotic $\mathcal{N}=3$ and…
We discuss non-Lorentzian Lagrangian field theories in $2n-1$ dimensions that admit an $SU(1,n)$ spacetime symmetry which includes a scaling transformation. These can be obtained by a conformal compactification of a $2n$-dimensional…
We consider general aspects of N=2 gauge theories in three dimensions, including their multiplet structure, anomalies and non-renormalization theorems. For U(1) gauge theories, we discuss the quantum corrections to the moduli space, and…
Consequences of large $N$ volume independence are examined in conformal and confining gauge theories. In the large $N$ limit, gauge theories compactified on $\R^{d-k} \times (S^1)^k$ are independent of the $S^1$ radii, provided the theory…
I investigate bosonization in four dimensions, using the smooth bosonization scheme. I argue that generalized chiral ``phases'' of the fermion field corresponding to chiral phase rotations and ``chiral Poincare transformations'' are the…
The large-$N$ limit of $O(N)$-symmetric bosonic field theories, or $U(N)$-symmetric fermionic field theories, is amenable to a saddle point approximation. As a result, there is a family of closely related algorithms for efficient lattice…
We apply a recently developed dilaton-pion effective field theory for asymptotically free gauge theories near the conformal window to the $SU(3)$ gauge theory with $N_f=8$ fermions in the fundamental representation. Numerical data for this…
The conventional model of the gauge vector field is invariant under the local conformal symmetry only in the four-dimensional space ($4d$). Conformal generalization to an arbitrary dimension $d$ is impossible even for the free theory,…
We study $2d$ QCD coupled to fermions in the adjoint representation of the gauge group $SU(N)$ at large $N$, and its relation to string theory. It is shown that the model undergoes a deconfinement transition at a finite temperature…
We classify four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theories with a simple gauge group admitting a large $N$ limit that flow to non-trivial superconformal fixed points in the infrared. We focus on the cases where the large $N$…
We discuss reductions of general N=1 four dimensional gauge theories on S^2. The effective two dimensional theory one obtains depends on the details of the coupling of the theory to background fields, which can be translated to a choice of…
A generalization of the Jordan-Wigner transformation to three (or higher) dimensions is constructed. The nonlocal mapping of spin to fermionic variables is expressed as a gauge transformation with topological charge equal to one. The…
This review is devoted to the application of bosonization techniques to two dimensional QCD. We start with a description of the ``abelian bosonization". The methods of the abelian bosonization are applied to several examples like the…
