$Sp(2N)$ Yang-Mills towards large $N$
Abstract
Non-perturbative aspects of the physics of gauge theories are interesting for phenomenological and theoretical reasons, and little studied so far, particularly in the approach to the large- limit. We examine the spectrum of glueballs and the string tension of Yang-Mills theories based upon these groups. Glueball masses are calculated numerically with a variational method from Monte-Carlo generated lattice gauge configurations. After taking continuum limits for = 1, 2, 3 and 4, we extrapolate the results towards large . We compare the resulting spectrum with that of gauge theories, both at finite and as approaches infinity.
