Localised and nonuniform thermal states of super-Yang-Mills on a circle
Localised and nonuniform thermal states of super-Yang-Mills on a circle
At low energies or temperatures, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb R^{(t)}\times S^1$ with large $N$ gauge group $SU(N)$ and strong t'Hooft coupling is conjectured to be dual to the low energy dynamics of a collection of D0-branes on a circle. We construct thermal states in the gravitational side of …
