Lattice Gauge Theory

Explore a comprehensive lecture on Lattice Gauge Theory presented by Marina Krstic Marinkovic from ETH Zurich as part of the Confinement, Flux Tubes, and Large N KITP conference. Delve into the fascinating world of color confinement, one of the most important phenomena in fundamental physics. Examine the concept of asymptotic freedom in non-Abelian gauge theories and its implications for long-distance interactions. Investigate the formation of bound states and the confinement of colored quarks and gluons into color singlet hadrons. Learn about the essential role of chromoelectric flux tubes in color confinement and their observation in lattice simulations. Discover how the large N limit of gauge theories provides a clean setting for studying the confining string. Gain insights from experts in color confinement, string theory, lattice gauge theory, gauge/gravity duality, large N methods, and integrability as they combine perspectives to tackle this classic problem in physics.
