The Hamiltonian approach is developed for QCD_2 in the limit of infinite number of colours N_C ('t Hooft model). Bosonization of the theory is performed explicitly and the generalized Bogoliubov transformation for the composite boson…
Two dimensional QCD is bosonized to be an integrably deformed Wess-Zumino-Witten model under proper limit. Fermions are identified having indices of the Grassmann manifold. Conditions for integrability are analyzed and their physical…
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 derive a bosonic Hamiltonian from two dimensional QCD on the light-front. To obtain the bosonic theory we find that it is useful to apply the boson expansion method which is the standard technique in quantum many-body physics. We…
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 derive the boson--fermion bound state equation in a two dimensional gauge theory in the large--$\nc$ limit. We analyze the properties of this equation and in particular, find that the mass trajectory is linear with respect to the bound…
We show that abelian bosonization of 1+1 dimensional fermion systems can be interpreted as duality transformation and, as a conseguence, it can be generalized to arbitrary dimensions in terms of gauge forms of rank $d-1$, where $d$ is the…
The bilocal effective action is developed as a viable tool to study mesons in the large-N limit of QCD. Several results from current algebra are derived in a new way using this action. The question of gauge invariance is discussed in an…
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…
In the bosonized version of two dimensional theories non trivial boundary conditions (topology) play a crucial role. They are inevitable if one wants to describe non singlet states. In abelian bosonization, color is the charge of a…
A generic massive Thirring Model in three space-time dimensions exhibits a correspondence with a topologically massive bosonized gauge action associated to a self-duality constraint, and we write down a general expression for this…
We study two-dimensional gauge theories with fundamental fermions and a general first order gauge-field Lagrangian. For the case of U(1) we show how standard bosonization of the Schwinger model generalizes to give mesons interacting through…
The large N_f self-consistency programme is reviewed. As an application the QCD beta-function is computed at O(1/N_f) and the anomalous dimensions of polarized twist-2 singlet operators are determined at the same order.
A two dimensional string effective action is obtained by dimensionally reducing the bosonic part of the ten dimensional heterotic string effective action. It is shown that this effective action, with a few restrictions on some backgrounds…
The Bose distribution for a gas of nonrelativistic free bosons is derived in the framework of $qp$-deformed second quantization. Some thermodynamical functions for such a system in D dimensions are derived. Bose-Einstein condensation is…
I explore the possibility of finding an equivalent string representation of two dimensional QCD. I develop the large N expansion of the ${\rm QCD_2}$ partition function on an arbitrary two dimensional Euclidean manifold. If this is related…
Known results on two-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (QED_2) have been used to study the dependence of functional renormalization group equations on renormalization schemes and approximations applied for its bosonized version. It is…
New non-abelian supersymmetric generalizations of the four-dimensional Born-Infeld action are constructed in N=1 and N=2 superspace, to all orders in the gauge superfield strength. The proposed actions are dictated by simple (manifestly…
We use the bilocal method to derive the large $N$ solution of the most general $QCD_2$.
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…
