We study the lattice gauge model proposed recently by Kazakov and Migdal for inducing QCD. We discuss an extra local Z_N which is a symmetry of the model and propose of how to construct observables. We discuss the role of the large-N phase…
A simple lattice model inducing a gauge theory is considered. The model describes an interaction of a gauge field to an $N\times N$ complex matrix scalar field transforming as a field in the fundamental representation. In contrast to the…
I study the large-N reduction a la Eguchi--Kawai in the Kazakov--Migdal lattice gauge model. I show that both quenching and twisting prescriptions lead to the coordinate-independent master field. I discuss properties of loop averages in…
We study the validity of the large-N equivalence between four-dimensional SU(N) lattice gauge theory and its momentum quenched version--the Quenched Eguchi-Kawai (QEK) model. We find that the assumptions needed for the proofs of equivalence…
We study the validity of the large-N equivalence between four-dimensional SU(N) lattice gauge theory and its momentum quenched version -- the Quenched Eguchi-Kawai (QEK) model. We have found strong evidence that this equivalence does not…
I investigate the Kazakov-Migdal (KM) model -- the Hermitean gauge-invariant matrix model on a D-dimensional lattice. I utilize an exact large-N solution of the KM model with a logarithmic potential to examine its critical behavior. I find…
In this talk I discuss both the present status and some recent work on the Kazakov--Migdal Model which was originally proposed as a soluble, large $N$ realization of QCD. After a brief description of the model and a discussion of its…
We study the Yukawa model on a 4-dimensional Euclidean lattice in the quenched approximation. A particular attention is given to the singularities of the Dirac operator in the phase diagram. A careful analysis of a particular limiting case…
There has been growing interest in studying the behaviour of QED in its strong coupling limit. The reason for this is not only that it serves as a simple prototype gauge theory for testing nonperturbative calculational techniques which one…
The Kuramoto model has been introduced to describe synchronization phenomena observed in groups of cells, individuals, circuits, etc. The model consists of $N$ interacting oscillators on the one dimensional sphere $\mathbf{S}^{1}$, driven…
We show that the Kazakov-Migdal (K-M) induced gauge model in $d$ dimensions describes the high temperature limit of ordinary lattice gauge theories in $d+1$ dimensions. The matter fields are related to the Polyakov loops, while the spatial…
We use the Wilson-Fisher $\epsilon$ expansion to study quantum critical behavior in gauged Yukawa matrix field theories with weak quenched disorder. We find that the resulting quantum critical behavior is in the universality class of the…
We use a random matrix model to study chiral symmetry breaking in QCD at finite chemical potential $\mu$. We solve the model and compute the eigenvalue density of the Dirac matrix on a complex plane. A naive ``replica trick'' fails for…
We study numerically the SU(2) Kazakov-Migdal model of `induced QCD'. In contrast to our earlier work on the subject we have chosen here {\it not} to integrate out the gauge fields but to keep them in the Monte Carlo simulation. This allows…
We study the large-$N$ limit of $U(N)$ and $SU(N)$ unitary matrix models inspired by QCD. The model is analyzed in two cases: $\mu = 0$, where the potential is real, and finite $\mu$, where it becomes complex. The complex action drives the…
We present a new method to determine the momentum dependence of the N to Delta transition form factors and demonstrate its effectiveness in the quenched theory at $\beta=6.0$ on a $32^3 \times 64$ lattice. We address a number of technical…
By studying the pure Yang-Mills theory on a circle, as well as an adjoint scalar coupled to the gauge field on a circle, we propose a quenching prescription in which the combination of the spatial component of the gauge field and $P$ is…
We review the results of large scale simulations of noncompact quenched $QED$ which use spectrum and Equation of State calculations to determine the theory's phase diagram, critical indices, and continuum limit. The resulting anomalous…
In this note we summarize the results from a longer article on obtaining the QCD phase diagram as a function of the temperature and chemical potential at large Nc and large Nf in the weak and the strong coupling limits. The weak coupling…
We study renormalized quenched strong-coupling QED in four dimensions in arbitrary covariant gauge. Above the critical coupling leading to dynamical chiral symmetry breaking, we show that there is no finite chiral limit. This behaviour is…
