A phenomenological model for the quark structure of mesons is considered. The model is based on the tube model for QCD, where all quanta with nonzero transverse momenta are neglected. In the limit that the mass term of the gluons goes to…
We present the results of a systematic, first-principles study of the spectrum and decay constants of mesons for different numbers of color charges N, via lattice computations. We restrict our attention to states in the non-zero isospin…
This work is driven by our curiosity towards some basic questions in QCD: how is the energy of a moving hadron partitioned among different gauge-invariant sectors in QCD Hamiltonian? How is the energy of an massless pion separated between…
We consider the formulation of two dimensional QCD in terms of gauge invariant bilocal operators (string field) which satisfy a $W_\infty$ algebra. In analogy with our work on the $c=1$ string field theory we derive an action and associated…
CP-PACS and JLQCD collaborations are carrying out a joint project of the 2+1 flavor full QCD simulation. Gauge configurations are generated for the non-perturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson quark action and the Iwasaki gauge action using…
We propose a new type of bottom-up holographic model describing the Regge like spectrum of mesons. This type of spectrum emerges due to condensation of a scalar field in the bulk anti-de Sitter space. The gauge invariance of the action…
Lattice results are presented for the meson spectrum of 1+1 dimensional gauge theory at large $N$, using the Twisted Eguchi-Kawai model. Comparison is made to the results obtained by `t Hooft in the light cone gauge.
We study an extended QCD model in (1+1) dimensions obtained from QCD in 4D by compactifying two spatial dimensions and projecting onto the zero-mode subspace. We work out this model in the large $N_c$ limit and using light cone gauge but…
With the aim of a further investigation of the nonperturbative Hamiltonian approach in gauge field theories, the mass spectrum of QED-2 is calculated numerically by using the corrected Hamiltonian that was constructed previously for this…
QCD in 1+1 dimensions is examined in the limit of a large number of colors and flavors. The Hamiltonian matrix is given in a Fock space spanned by 't Hooft meson states and, for the case of zero fermion mass, a submatrix is diagonalized…
We present simulation details and results for the light hadron spectrum in N f = 2 + 1 lattice QCD with the nonperturbatively O(a)-improved Wilson quark action and the Iwasaki gauge action. Simulations are carried out at a lattice spacing…
Extending previous work, we calculate in this note the fermionic spectrum of two-dimensional QCD (QCD_2) in the formulation with SU(N_c) currents. Together with the results in the bosonic sector this allows to address the as yet unresolved…
We consider the 3d dual of 1+1 dimensional large-N_c QCD with quarks in the fundamental representation, also known as the 't Hooft model. 't Hooft solved this model by deriving a Schroedinger equation for the wavefunction of a parton inside…
We present a summary of results of the joint CP-PACS and JLQCD project toward a 2+1 flavor full QCD simulation with the O(a)-improved Wilson quark formalism and the Iwasaki gauge action. Configurations were generated during 2002-2005 at…
We elaborate on the brane configuration that gives rise to a QCD-like gauge theory that confines at low energies and becomes scale invariant at the highest energies. In the limit where the rank of the gauge group is large, a gravitational…
We discuss the general structure of effective hamiltonians for systematic 1/N expansion in QCD using the light-cone quantization. These are second-quantized hamiltonians acting on the Fock space of mesons and glueballs defined by the…
We apply to a lattice version of the 't~Hooft model, QCD in two space-time dimensions for large number of colours, a method recently proposed to obtain an effective mesonic action starting from the fundamental, fermionic one. The idea is to…
We analytically and numerically investigate the 't Hooft equations, the lowest order mesonic Light-Front Tamm-Dancoff equations for $\rm SU(N_C)$ and $\rm U(N_C)$ gauge theories, generalized to flavor non singlet mesons. We find the wave…
The two-dimensional QCD in the large $N$ limit, generally referred to as the 't Hooft model, is numerically investigated in the axial gauge in a comprehensive manner. The corresponding Bethe-Salpeter equation for a bound $q\bar{q}$ pair,…
We elaborate on how to incorporate mesonic correlators into the worldline formalism. We consider possible applications to QCD-like theories in various dimensions. We focus on large-N_c two dimensional QCD (the 't Hooft model) and relate it…
