Adjoint QCD2 in Large N
Abstract
We consider a dimensional reduction of 3+1 dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory coupled to adjoint fermions to obtain a class of 1+1 dimensional gauge theories. We derive the quantized light-cone Hamiltonian in the light-cone gauge A+ = 0$ and large-N limit, then solve for the masses, wavefunctions and of the color singlet boson and fermion boundstates. We find that the theory has many exact massless state that are similar to the t'Hooft pion.
