Yang-Mills flux tube in AdS
Victor Gorbenko, EPFL (Lausanne)
Event Type: Informal HEP Talk
Time: 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Location: 726 Broadway, 940, CCPP Seminar
Abstract: I will explain that by placing Yang-Mills theory on a rigid AdS background we can make it weakly coupled without loosing the essential features of confinement. In particular, we can study a weakly coupled analog of confining flux tubes. At large AdS radius we recover flat space and flux tubes are controlled by the effective theory. I will show the results of the calculations of flux tube spectra which indicate that small and large radii perturbative expansions match in the middle.
