Twists and Wilson loops in the string theory of two-dimensional QCD
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The string theory that describes two-dimensional QCD in an asymptotic 1/ N expansion is investigated further. A complete geometrical description of the QCD partition function on an arbitrary manifold is given in terms of maps from a two-dimensional orientable surface onto the target space. This includes correction terms that arise on surfaces with genus G ≠ 1, which are described geometrically by the insertion of extra “twist” points in the covering maps. In addition, the formalism is derived for calculating the vacuum expectation value of an arbitrary product of Wilson loops on an arbitrary two-dimensional manifold in terms of maps from an open string world sheet onto the target space.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
