The main result of this paper is a rigorous computation of Wilson loop expectations in strongly coupled SO(N) lattice gauge theory in the large N limit, in any dimension. The formula appears as an absolutely convergent sum over trajectories in a kind of string theory on the lattice, demonstrating an explicit gauge-string duality. The generality of the proof technique may allow it to be extended other gauge groups.

A new derivation of the finite $N$ master loop equation for lattice Yang-Mills

We give a new derivation of the finite N master loop equation for lattice Yang-Mills theory with structure group SO(N), U(N) or SU(N). The SO(N) case was initially proved by Chatterjee in [Cha19a],…

SO(N) Lattice Gauge Theory, planar and beyond

Lattice gauge theories have been studied in the physics literature as discrete approximations to quantum Yang‐Mills theory for a long time. Primary statistics of interest in these models are…
