When N = 2 gauge theories are compactified on $S^4$, the large $N_c$ limit then selects a unique vacuum of the theory determined by saddle-point equations, which remains determined even in the flat-theory limit. We show that exactly the…
The two-dimensional gauged linear sigma model has provided a physical model for the quantum cohomology of a K\"ahler manifold, $X$. A three-dimensional version of such construction has recently been shown to shed light on models of quantum…
The problem of computing the thermodynamic properties of a one-dimensional gas of particles which transform in the adjoint representation of the gauge group and interact through non-Abelian electric fields is formulated and solved in the…
Bosonization is normally thought of as a purely two-dimensional phenomenon, and generic field theories with fermions in D>2 are not expected be describable by local bosonic actions, except in some special cases. We point out that 3D SU(N)…
Quantum mechanics in a noncommutative plane is considered. For a general two dimensional central field, we find that the theory can be perturbatively solved for large values of the noncommutative parameter ($\theta$) and explicit…
We review the solutions of O(N) and U(N) quantum field theories in the large $N$ limit and as 1/N expansions, in the case of vector representations. Since invariant composite fields have small fluctuations for large $N$, the method relies…
We study the $S^3$ partition function of three-dimensional supersymmetric $\mathcal{N}=4$ U($N$) SQCD with massive matter multiplets in the infinite mass limit with the so-called Coulomb branch localization. We show that in the infinite…
We present a fluctuating $N$ formalism, based on second-quantization, to describe large $N$ vector models from field theory using Hamiltonian methods. We first present the method in the simpler setting of a quantum mechanical system with…
In these lecture notes, I review how to use large N techniques to solve quantum field theories in various dimensions. In particular, the case of N-dimensional quantum mechanics, non-relativistic cold and dense neutron matter, and scalar…
Recently it was shown that an asymptotic behaviour of $SU(N)$ gauge theory for large $N$ is described by q-deformed quantum field. The master fields for large N theories satisfy to standard equations of relativistic field theory but fields…
We analyze a two dimensional model of gauged fermions with quartic couplings in the large-N limit. This combines the 't Hooft model and the Gross-Neveu model where the coupling constants of both theories are arbitrary. Analytic equations…
Large-$S$ and large-$N$ theories (spin value $S$ and spinor component number $N$) are complementary, and sometimes conflicting, approaches to quantum magnetism. While large-$S$ spin-wave theory captures the correct semiclassical behavior,…
Inspired by a possible relation between large $N$ gauge theory and string theory, we search for nontrivial fixed points in large $N$ gauge theory in more than four dimensions. We study large $N$ gauge theory through Monte Carlo simulation…
We study numerically the saddle point structure of two-dimensional (2D) lattice gauge theory, represented by the Gross-Witten-Wadia unitary matrix model. The saddle points are in general complex-valued, even though the original integration…
We study N=2 supersymmetric four dimensional gauge theories, in a certain N=2 supergravity background, called Omega-background. The partition function of the theory in the Omega-background can be calculated explicitly. We investigate…
Noncommutative (NC) quantum field theory is the subject of many analyses on formal and general aspects looking for deviations and, therefore, potential noncommutative spacetime effects. Within of this large class, we may now pay some…
Working within the path-integral framework we first establish a duality between the partion functions of two $U(1)$ gauge theories with a theta term in $d=4$ space-time dimensions. Then, after a dimensional reduction to $d=3$ dimensions we…
The massive SU(2) gauge field theory coupled with fermions is considered in 2+1 dimensions. Quark energy spectrum and radiative shift in constant external nonabelian field, being exact solution of the gauge field equations with the…
We calculate the partition functions of QCD in two dimensions on a cylinder and on a torus in the gauge $\partial_{0} A_{0} = 0$ by integrating explicitly over the non zero modes of the Fourier expansion in the periodic time variable. The…
We present a brief numerical study of the Darwin-Fowler method applied to the analysis of the energy partition of essembles of bosons and fermions. We analyze the assertion of the existence of a "strong maximum" made in the original paper…
