We continue analytical study of the meson mass spectrum in the large-$N_c$ two-dimensional QCD, known as the 't Hooft model, by addressing the most general case of quarks with unequal masses. Based on our previous work, we develop…
We study the spectrum of meson masses in large $N_c$ QCD$_2$ governed by celebrated 't Hooft's integral equation. We generalize analytical methods proposed by Fateev, Lukyanov and Zamolodchikov to the case of arbitrary, but equal quark…
We propose an extension of 't Hooft's large-$N_c$ light-front QCD in two dimensions to include helicity and physical gluon degrees of freedom, modelled on a classical dimensional reduction of four dimensional QCD. A non-perturbative…
We study 't Hooft's integral equation determining the meson masses M_n in multicolor QCD_2. In this note we concentrate on developing an analytic method, and restrict our attention to the special case of quark masses m_1=m_2=g/\sqrt{\pi}.…
We study analytic properties and integrable structures of the meson spectrum in large $N_c$ QCD$_2$. We show that the integral equation that determines the masses of the mesons, often called the 't Hooft equation, is equivalent to finding…
We study 't Hooft's equation for bound states in 2d multicolor QCD. We consider the case of quarks with equal masses. We derive asymptotic expansions for the spectrum of mesons in different regimes and study their properties.
In this note we calculate the spectrum of two-dimensional QCD. We formulate the theory with SU(N_c) currents rather than with fermionic operators. We construct the Hamiltonian matrix in DLCQ formulation as a function of the harmonic…
We present new non-perturbative results about the meson spectrum and the low-energy constants of QCD in the 't Hooft large-$N$ limit, $N\to\infty$ with $N_{\scriptscriptstyle{\rm f}}/N\to 0$. These are obtained from lattice Monte Carlo…
We discuss the spectra of multi-flavor massless QCD_2. An approximation in which the Hilbert space is truncated to two currents states is used. We write down a 't Hooft like equation for the wave function of the two currents states. We…
QCD is analysed with two light-front continuum dimensions and two transverse lattice dimensions. In the limit of large number of colours and strong transverse gauge coupling, the contributions of light-front and transverse directions…
In an attempt to establish a link between different quantization methods, I examine the massless 't Hooft equation, which governs meson bound state wavefunctions in 2d SU(N) gauge theory in the large-N limit. The integral equation can also…
The low energy mass spectrum of QCD in the large $N_C$ limit is computed. The low-lying states in the meson spectrum are explicitly evaluated up to the fourth order in the strong coupling perturbative expansion. The 't Hooft limit is smooth…
We review the features of the bound state equation in large N scalar QCD in two dimensions, the 't Hooft model, and compute the discrete hadron mass spectrum in this theory. We make the Ansatz that the scalar fields of this model represent…
We had previously obtained an integral equation for mesons in transverse lattice QCD, in the limit of large number of colours and strong transverse lattice gauge coupling [1]. This equation is a generalisation of the 't Hooft equation [2],…
We studied meson-meson interactions using the 't Hooft model, which represents QCD in 1+1 dimensions and assumes a large number of colors ($N_c$). The dominant interactions in this large $N_c$ limit are generated by quark exchange. Our…
We compute the low energy mass spectrum of lattice QCD in the large $N_C$ limit. Expanding around a gauge-invariant ground state, which spontaneously breaks the discrete chiral symmetry, we derive an improved strong-coupling expansion and…
Mesons in large-N QCD are analysed in light-front coordinates with a transverse lattice at strong coupling. In this limit, their properties can be expressed as simple renormalisations of the 't Hooft model results. The integral eigenvalue…
The large mass limit of QCD uncovers symmetries that are not present in the QCD lagrangian. These symmetries have been applied to physical (finite mass) systems, such as B and D mesons. We explore the validity of this approximation in the…
In this paper we investigate $1/N$ corrections to mesonic spectrum in $1+1$-dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics ($\text{QCD}_2$) with fundamental quarks using effective Hamiltonian method. We express the corrections in terms of 't Hooft…
We extend the formalism pioneered by Callan, Coote and Gross to investigate the meson-meson scattering within the framework of 't Hooft model, i.e., the two-dimensional QCD in the $N_c\to \infty$ limit. We derive the analytic expressions…
