Topology and confinement in SU(N) gauge theories
The large N limit of SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions is investigated on the lattice by extrapolating results obtained for 2 ≤ N ≤ 5. A numerical determination of the masses of the lowest-lying glueball states and of the topological susceptibility in the limit N → ∞ is provided. Ratios of the...
