In a recent paper, Armoni, Shifman, and Veneziano (ASV) gave a formal nonperturbative proof of planar equivalence between the bosonic sectors of SU(N) super Yang-Mills theory and of a gauge theory with a massless quark in the antisymmetric two-indexes representation. In the case of three colors, the latter theory is nothing but one-flavor QCD. I will give a lattice version of the ASV proof of orientifold planar equivalence. It will be clear that it holds only in the strong-coupling and large-mass phase. Therefore, numerical simulations are necessary to test the validity of the orientifold planar equivalence in a physical region of the bare parameters on the lattice and to estimate the size of 1/N corrections.
