We study the large-$N$ dynamics of $T\bar{T}$-deformed two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory at genus zero. The 1/$N$-expansion of the free energy is obtained by exploiting the associated flow equation and the complete phase diagram of the…
We summarize and extend evidence that the deconfinement phase transition in Yang-Mills theories can be viewed as change of effective non-perturbative degrees of freedom and of symmetries of their interactions. In short, the strings in four…
We present a non-perturbative study of the phase diagram of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in a five-dimensional spacetime with a compact extra dimension. The non-renormalizable theory is regularized on an anisotropic lattice and investigated…
We study matrix quantum mechanics at finite temperature by Monte Carlo simulation. The model is obtained by dimensionally reducing 10d U(N) pure Yang-Mills theory to 1d. Following Aharony et al., one can view the same model as describing…
The N=2* theory (mass deformation of N=4 Super-Yang-Mills) undergoes an infinite number of quantum phase transitions in the large-N limit. The phase structure and critical behavior can be analyzed with the help of supersymmetric…
We study the four-dimensional Yang-Mills theory in the presence of a three-dimensional membrane of fermions by lattice Monte Carlo simulations. We analyze the phase structure of this theory at finite temperature. Below the phase transition…
We describe the entire phase structure of a large number of colour generalized Yang-Mills theories in 1+1 dimensions. This is illustrated by the explicit computation for a quartic plus quadratic model. We show that the Douglas-Kazakov and…
The N=2* Super-Yang-Mills theory (SYM*) undergoes an infinite sequence of large-N quantum phase transitions. We compute expectation values of Wilson loops in k-symmetric and antisymmetric representations of the SU(N) gauge group in this…
An explicit canonical transformation is constructed to relate the physical subspace of Yang-Mills theory to the phase space of the ADM variables of general relativity. This maps 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory to local evolution of…
The large-group behavior of the nonlocal YM$_2$'s and gYM$_2$'s on a cylinder or a disk is investigated. It is shown that this behavior is similar to that of the corresponding local theory, but with the area of the cylinder replaced by an…
The Ising model on annealed complex networks with degree distribution decaying algebraically as $p(K)\sim K^{-\lambda}$ has a second-order phase transition at finite temperature if $\lambda> 3$. In the absence of space dimensionality,…
Large $N$ two-dimensional QCD on a cylinder and on a vertex manifold (a sphere with three holes) is investigated. The relation between the saddle-point description and the collective field theory of QCD$_2$ is established. Using this…
We investigate the thermodynamics and phase structure of $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{T}^2\times\mathbb{R}^2$ with anisotropic spatial volumes in Euclidean spacetime in lattice numerical simulations and an effective model. In…
We study properties of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory on a four-dimensional Euclidean spacetime in which two directions are compactified into a finite two-dimensional torus ${\mathbb T}^2$ while two others constitute a large ${\mathbb R}^2$…
An explicit canonical transformation is constructed to relate the physical subspace of Yang-Mills theory to the phase space of the ADM variables of general relativity. This maps 3+1 dimensional Yang-Mills theory to local evolution of…
We study the two-dimensional gauge theory of the symmetric group S_n describing the statistics of branched n-coverings of Riemann surfaces. We consider the theory defined on the disk and on the sphere in the large-n limit. A non trivial…
We solve, using localization, for the large-N master field of N=2* super-Yang-Mills theory. From that we calculate expectation values of large Wilson loops and the free energy on the four-sphere. At weak coupling, these observables only…
$SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory in three dimensions, with a Chern-Simons term of level $k$ (an integer) added, has two dimensionful coupling constants, $g^2 k$ and $g^2 N$; its possible phases depend on the size of $k$ relative to $N$. For $k \gg…
Recent Holographic studies have shown that N=4 super Yang-Mills theory coupled to fundamental matter with finite chemical potential undergoes a first order phase transition. In this paper, we study Nf D6 probe branes with or without…
We consider M-theory on compact spaces of G_2 holonomy constructed as orbifolds of the form (CY x S^1)/Z_2 with fixed point set \Sigma on the CY. This describes N=1 SU(2) gauge theories with b_1(\Sigma) chiral multiplets in the adjoint. For…
