Loop-space representation and the large-N behavior of the one-plaquette Kogut-Susskind Hamiltonian

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
We study the large-N behavior of the one-plaquette Kogut-Susskind gauge-theory Hamiltonian. Based on the quantum collective-field method we derive an effective loop-space Hamiltonian whose stationary points then determine the large-N limit.
