By employing the $1/N$ expansion, we compute the vacuum energy~$E(deltaepsilon)$ of the two-dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ model on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ with $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions to the second order in a SUSY-breaking parameter~$deltaepsilon$. This quantity was vigorously studied recently by Fujimori et al. using a semi-classical approximation based on the bion, motivated by a possible semi-classical picture on the infrared renormalon. In our calculation, we find that the parameter~$deltaepsilon$ receives renormalization and, after this renormalization, the vacuum energy becomes ultraviolet finite. To the next-to-leading order of the $1/N$ expansion, we find that the vacuum energy normalized by the radius of the~$S^1$, $R$, $RE(deltaepsilon)$ behaves as inverse powers of~$Lambda R$ for~$Lambda R$ small, where $Lambda$ is the dynamical scale. Since $Lambda$ is related to the renormalized t~Hooft coupling~$lambda_R$ as~$Lambdasim e^{-2pi/lambda_R}$, to the order of the $1/N$ expansion we work out, the vacuum energy is a purely non-perturbative quantity and has no well-defined weak coupling expansion in~$lambda_R$.

In the leading order of the large-$N$ approximation, we study the renormalon ambiguity in the gluon (or, more appropriately, photon) condensate in the 2D supersymmetric $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ model on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ with the $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions. In our large~$N$ limit, the combination $Lambda R$, where $Lambda$ is the dynamical scale and $R$~is the $S^1$ radius, is kept fixed (we set $Lambda Rll1$ so that the perturbative expansion with respect to the coupling constant at the mass scale~$1/R$ is meaningful). We extract the perturbative part from the large-$N$ expression of the gluon condensate and obtain the corresponding Borel transform~$B(u)$. For~$mathbb{R}times S^1$, we find that the Borel singularity at~$u=2$, which exists in the system on the uncompactified~$mathbb{R}^2$ and corresponds to twice the minimal bion action, disappears. Instead, an unfamiliar renormalon singularity emph{emerges/} at~$u=3/2$ for the compactified space~$mathbb{R}times S^1$. The semi-classical interpretation of this peculiar singularity is not clear because $u=3/2$ is not dividable by the minimal bion action. It appears that our observation for the system on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ prompts reconsideration on the semi-classical bion picture of the infrared renormalon.
We report the results of the lattice simulation of the ${mathbb C} P^{N-1}$ sigma model on $S_{s}^{1}$(large) $times$ $S_{tau}^{1}$(small). We take a sufficiently large ratio of the circumferences to approximate the model on ${mathbb R} times S^1$. For periodic boundary condition imposed in the $S_{tau}^{1}$ direction, we show that the expectation value of the Polyakov loop undergoes a deconfinement crossover as the compactified circumference is decreased, where the peak of the associated susceptibility gets sharper for larger $N$. For ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ twisted boundary condition, we find that, even at relatively high $beta$ (small circumference), the regular $N$-sided polygon-shaped distributions of Polyakov loop leads to small expectation values of Polyakov loop, which implies unbroken ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ symmetry if sufficient statistics and large volumes are adopted. We also argue the existence of fractional instantons and bions by investigating the dependence of the Polyakov loop on $S_{s}^{1}$ direction, which causes transition between ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ vacua.
We study the infrared renormalon in the gluon condensate in the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $n_W$-flavor adjoint Weyl fermions (QCD(adj.)) on~$mathbb{R}^3times S^1$ with the $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions. We rely on the so-called large-$beta_0$ approximation as a conventional tool to analyze the renormalon, in which only Feynman diagrams that dominate in the large-$n_W$ limit are considered while the coefficient of the vacuum polarization is set by hand to the one-loop beta function~$beta_0=11/3-2n_W/3$. In the large~$N$ limit within the large-$beta_0$ approximation, the W-boson, which acquires the twisted Kaluza--Klein momentum, produces the renormalon ambiguity corresponding to the Borel singularity at~$u=2$. This provides an example that the system in the compactified space~$mathbb{R}^3times S^1$ possesses the renormalon ambiguity identical to that in the uncompactified space~$mathbb{R}^4$. We also discuss the subtle issue that the location of the Borel singularity can change depending on the order of two necessary operations.
We present additional observations to previous studies on the infrared (IR) renormalon in $SU(N)$ QCD(adj.), the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $n_W$-flavor adjoint Weyl fermions on~$mathbb{R}^3times S^1$ with the $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary condition. First, we show that, for arbitrary finite~$N$, a logarithmic factor in the vacuum polarization of the photon (the gauge boson associated with the Cartan generators of~$SU(N)$) disappears under the $S^1$~compactification. Since the IR renormalon is attributed to the presence of this logarithmic factor, it is concluded that there is no IR renormalon in this system with finite~$N$. This result generalizes the observation made by Anber and~Sulejmanpasic [J. High Energy Phys. textbf{1501}, 139 (2015)] for $N=2$ and~$3$ to arbitrary finite~$N$. Next, we point out that, although renormalon ambiguities do not appear through the Borel procedure in this system, an ambiguity appears in an alternative resummation procedure in which a resummed quantity is given by a momentum integration where the inverse of the vacuum polarization is included as the integrand. Such an ambiguity is caused by a simple zero at non-zero momentum of the vacuum polarization. Under the decompactification~$Rtoinfty$, where $R$ is the radius of the $S^1$, this ambiguity in the momentum integration smoothly reduces to the IR renormalon ambiguity in~$mathbb{R}^4$. We term this ambiguity in the momentum integration renormalon precursor. The emergence of the IR renormalon ambiguity in~$mathbb{R}^4$ under the decompactification can be naturally understood with this notion.
We study confining strings in ${cal{N}}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory in the semiclassical regime on $mathbb{R}^{1,2} times mathbb{S}^1$. Static quarks are expected to be confined by double strings composed of two domain walls - which are lines in $mathbb{R}^2$ - rather than by a single flux tube. Each domain wall carries part of the quarks chromoelectric flux. We numerically study this mechanism and find that double-string confinement holds for strings of all $N$-alities, except for those between fundamental quarks. We show that, for $N_c ge 5$, the two domain walls confining unit $N$-ality quarks attract and form non-BPS bound states, collapsing to a single flux line. We determine the $N$-ality dependence of the string tensions for $2 le N_c le 10$. Compared to known scaling laws, we find a weaker, almost flat $N$-ality dependence, which is qualitatively explained by the properties of BPS domain walls. We also quantitatively study the behavior of confining strings upon increasing the $mathbb{S}^1$ size by including the effect of virtual $W$-bosons and show that the qualitative features of double-string confinement persist.
