Solving some gauge systems at infinite N
摘要
After summarizing briefly some numerical results for four-dimensional supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills quantum mechanics, we review a recent study of systems with an infinite number of colours. We study in detail a particular supersymmetric matrix model which exhibits a phase transition, strong-weak duality, and a rich structure of supersymmetric vacua. In the planar and strong coupling limits, this field theoretical system is equivalent to a one-dimensional XXZ Heisenberg chain and, at the same time, to a gas of -bosons. This not only reveals a hidden supersymmetry in these well-studied models; it also maps the intricate pattern of our supersymmetic vacua into that of the now-popular ground states of the XXZ chain.
