Title: To gauge or not to gauge?

Abstract

The D0 brane, or BFSS, matrix model is a quantum mechanical theory with an interesting gravity dual. We consider a variant of this model where we treat the SU(N) symmetry as a global symmetry, rather than as a gauge symmetry. This variant contains new non-singlet states. We consider the impact of these new states on its gravity dual. We argue that the gravity dual is essentially the same as the one for the original matrix model. The non-singlet states have higher energy at strong coupling and are therefore dynamically suppressed.

Sketches of emergent geometry in the gauge/gravity duality

Journal Article Berenstein, D. - Fortschritte der Physik

Here in this paper three notions of emergent geometry arising from the study of gauge/gravity duals are discussed. The unifying theme behind these notions of emergent geometry is that one can derive properties of the effective action of a probe or excitation around some configuration in gauge theory which can be argued to be localized at a particular position in the gravity dual, and match this description to various degrees of accuracy in the gravity dual. The three examples discussed are giant gravitons in AdS₅×S⁵, open strings stretching between these giants and the probe dynamics of a D0 brane inmore »« less

Matrix ensembles with global symmetries and ’t Hooft anomalies from 2d gauge theory

Journal Article - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

The Hilbert space of a quantum system with internal global symmetry G decomposes into sectors labelled by irreducible representations of G. If the system is chaotic, the energies in each sector should separately resemble ordinary random matrix theory. We show that such “sector-wise” random matrix ensembles arise as the boundary dual of two- dimensional gravity with a G gauge field in the bulk. Within each sector, the eigenvalue density is enhanced by a nontrivial factor of the dimension of the representation, and the ground state energy is determined by the quadratic Casimir. We study the consequences of ’t Hooft anomalies in the matrix ensembles, which are incorporated by adding specific topological terms to the gauge theory action. The effect is to introduce projective representations into the decomposition of the Hilbert space. Finally, we consider ensembles with G symmetry and time reversal symmetry, and analyze a simple case of a mixed anomaly between time reversal and an internalmore » $$\mathbb{Z}$$₂ symmetry.« less

A symmetry breaking scenario for QCD₃

Journal Article Komargodski, Zohar ; Seiberg, Nathan - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We consider the dynamics of 2+1 dimensional SU(N) gauge theory with Chern-Simons level k and N_ƒ fundamental fermions. By requiring consistency with previously suggested dualities for N_ƒ ≤ 2k as well as the dynamics at k = 0 we propose that the theory with N f > 2k breaks the U(N f ) global symmetry spontaneously to U(N_ƒ/2 + k) × U(N_ƒ/2 - k). In contrast to the 3+1 dimensional case, the symmetry breaking takes place in a range of quark masses and not just at one point. The target space never becomes parametrically large and the Nambu-Goldstone bosons aremore »« less

Non Abelian T-duality in Gauged Linear Sigma Models

Journal Article Bizet, Nana Cabo ; Martinez-Merino, Aldo ; Zayas, Leopoldo A. Pando ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Abelian T-duality in Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSM) forms the basis of the physical understanding of Mirror Symmetry as presented by Hori and Vafa. We consider an alternative formulation of Abelian T-duality on GLSM’s as a gauging of a global U(1) symmetry with the addition of appropriate Lagrange multipliers. For GLSMs with Abelian gauge groups and without superpotential we reproduce the dual models introduced by Hori and Vafa. We extend the construction to formulate non-Abelian T-duality on GLSMs with global non-Abelian symmetries. The equations of motion that lead to the dual model are obtained for a general group, they dependmore »« less

Some global problems in gauge theories (Variations on a theme of Aharonov and Bohm)

Conference Wilczek, F

Several situations are discussed, in which the sort of global considerations made famous by Aharonov and Bohm in their discussion of the interaction of charged particles with magnetic flux tubes have important physical implications. It is argued that discrete gauge symmetries in the continuum make sense, and manifest themselves most clearly in Aharonov-Bohm type scattering of charged particles off string singularities. The existence of such discrete symmetries has important implications for the quantum mechanics of topologically non-trivial space-times in general and black holes in particular. It is argued that in the non-abelian case essentially new features arise, most notably thatmore »« less
