Symanzik effective actions, conjectured to describe lattice artifacts, are determined for a class of lattice regularizations of the non-linear O(N) sigma model in two dimensions in the leading order of the 1/N-expansion. The class of actions considered includes also ones which do not have the usual classical limit and are not (so far) treatable in the framework of ordinary perturbation theory. The effective actions obtained are shown to reproduce previously computed lattice artifacts of the step scaling functions defined in finite volume, giving further confidence in Symanziks theory of lattice artifacts.

We present the result of our computation of the lowest lying meson masses for SU(N) gauge theory in the large $N$ limit (with $N_f/Nlongrightarrow 0$). The final values are given in units of the square root of the string tension, and with errors which account for both statistical and systematic errors. By using 4 different values of the lattice spacing we have seen that our results scale properly. We have studied various values of $N$ (169, 289 and 361) to monitor the N-dependence of the most sensitive quantities. Our methodology is based upon a first principles approach (lattice gauge theory) combined with large $N$ volume independence. We employed both Wilson fermions and twisted mass fermions with maximal twist. In addition to masses in the pseudoscalar, vector, scalar and axial vector channels, we also give results on the pseudoscalar decay constant and various remormalization factors.
We study the two-dimensional Yang--Mills theory with four supercharges in the large-$N$ limit. By using thermal boundary conditions, we analyze the internal energy and the distribution of scalars. We compare their behavior to the maximally supersymmetric case with sixteen supercharges, which is known to admit a holographic interpretation. Our lattice results for the scalar distribution show no visible dependence on $N$ and the energy at strong coupling appears independent of temperature.
The vector meson mass is computed as a function of quark mass in the large N limit of QCD. We use continuum reduction and directly compute the vector meson propagator in momentum space. Quark momentum is inserted using the quenched momentum prescription.
We consider the large N limit of four dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills field coupled to adjoint fermions on a single site lattice. We use perturbative techniques to show that the Z^4_N center-symmetries are broken with naive fermions but they are not broken with overlap fermions. We use numerical techniques to support this result. Furthermore, we present evidence for a non-zero chiral condensate for one and two Majorana flavors at one value of the lattice gauge coupling.
In a scalar theory which we use as a simplified model for the Higgs sector, we adopt the semiclassical formalism of Son for computations of $n$-particle production cross-sections in the high-multiplicity $nto infty$ weak-coupling $lambda to 0$ regime with the value of $lambda n$ held fixed and large. The approach relies on the use of singular classical solutions to a certain boundary value problem. In the past this formalism has been successfully used and verified in computations of perturbative multi-particle processes at tree-level, and also at the next-to-leading order level in the small $lambda n$ expansion near the multi-particle mass threshold. We apply this singular solutions formalism in the regime of ultra-high multiplicities where $lambda n gg 1$, and compute the leading positive $sim n,sqrt{lambda n}$ contribution to the exponent of the multi-particle rate in this large $lambda n$ limit. The computation is carried out near the multi-particle mass threshold where the multiplicity $n$ approaches its maximal value allowed by kinematics. This calculation relies on the idea of Gorsky and Voloshin to use a thin wall approximation for the singular solutions that resemble critical bubbles. This approximation is justified in precisely the high-multiplicity $sqrt{lambda n} to infty$ regime of interest. Based on our results we show that the scalar theory with a spontaneous symmetry breaking used here as a simplified model for the Higgs sector, is very likely to realise the high-energy Higgsplosion phenomenon.
