Super Yang-Mills theory as a random matrix model
- Institute for Theoretical Physics, State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794-3840 (United States)
We generalize the Gervais-Neveu gauge to four-dimensional {ital N}=1 superspace. The model describes an {ital N}=2 super Yang-Mills theory. All chiral superfields ({ital N}=2 matter and ghost multiplets) exactly cancel to all loops. The remaining Hermitian scalar superfield (matrix) has a renormalizable massive propagator and simplified vertices. These properties are associated with {ital N}=1 supergraphs describing a superstring theory on a random lattice world sheet. We also consider all possible finite matrix models, and find they have a universal large-color limit. These could describe gravitational strings if the matrix-model coupling is fixed to unity, for exact electric-magnetic self-duality.
