Matrix model of QCD: Edge localized glueballs and phase transitions

Abstract: In a matrix model of pure SU (2) Yang-Mills theory, boundaries emerge in the space of Mat 3 (R) and the Hamiltonian requires boundary conditions. We show the existence of edge localized glueball states which can have negative energies. These edge levels can be lifted to positive energies if the gluons acquire a London-like mass. This suggests a new phase of QCD with an incompressible bulk. * nacharyy@ulb.ac.be †

“…Historically, studies in Yang-Mills theory [24,25], which is the gauge sector in the SM [1,2], has been particularly useful in understanding QCDrelated physics [26][27][28]. One may harbor similar expectations from pure scalar sector [29][30][31], particularly for richer renormalizable quantum field theory models.…”

“…For instance, it has been successful in accounting for the impure nature of colored states in QCD [2,3]. It has also been used to describe the low-lying glueball spectrum of pure QCD [4], as well as to realize edge-localized glueball states in SUð2Þ Yang-Mills theory [5].…”
