We simulate a supersymmetric matrix model obtained from dimensional reduction of 4d SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory. The model is well defined for finite N and it is found that the large N limit obtained by keeping g^2 N fixed gives rise to…
Basing on a semiclassical picture of dyons, we present a nonperturbative model of a pure Yang--Mills theory at any temperatures, for an arbitrary simple gauge group. We argue that at low temperatures dyons drive the Yang--Mills system for…
We report on new results for the low lying spectrum of N=1 SUSY Yang-Mills Theory with SU(2) as the gauge group. Simulating on larger lattices at \kappa = 0.194 and \beta = 2.3, we slowly approach the supersymmetric limit at m_{gluino} = 0.
We discuss the two point functions for the real and imaginary parts of the Polyakov loop in a pure SU(3) gauge theory. The behavior of these correlation functions in the Polyakov Loop Model is markedly different from that in perturbation…

Effective Polyakov loop theories are a useful tool for an investigation of pure Yang-Mills theory and full QCD. A systematic derivation of the effective action can be done in a spatial strong coupling expansion. Quite accurate predictions…

The order parameter for the pure Yang-Mills phase transition is the Polyakov loop which encodes the symmetries of the Z_N center of the SU(N) gauge group. On the other side the physical degrees of freedom of any asymptotically free gauge…
