Abstract

The problems with the $Z_N$ symmetry breaking in the induced QCD are analyzed. We compute the Wilson loops in the strong coupling phase, but we do not find the $Z_N$ symmetry breaking, for arbitrary potential. We suggest to bypass this problem by adding to the model a heavy fermion field in a fundamental representation of $ SU(N) $. Remarkably, the model still can be solved exactly by the Rieman-Hilbert method, for arbitrary number $N_f$ of flavors. At $ N_f \ll N \rightarrow \infty $ there is a new regime, with two vacuum densities. The $Z_N$ symmetry breaking density satisfies the linear integral equation, with the kernel, depending upon the old density. The symmetry breaking requires certain eigenvalue condition, which takes some extra parameter adjustment of the scalar potential.

LaMET-Agent: An Agent Framework for Large-Momentum Effective Theory Analysis

Large-momentum effective theory (LaMET) provides a first-principles framework for computing the $x$ dependence of light-cone parton distributions from lattice QCD. Over the past decade, theoretical and numerical advances have established a mature multi-stage workflow for systematic calculation of parton physics, although its implementation still requires expert judgment and substantial repeated effort. We present lamet-agent, an open-source large language model (LLM) agent framework that organizes this workflow into an executable, reproducible, and inspectable analysis pipeline. The present release supports collinear quark distributions and implements correlator analysis, renormalization, Fourier transformation, perturbative matching, continuum, physical pion mass and infinite-momentum extrapolations, and automated result review. We validate it on four end-to-end analyses: pion parton distribution functions in the gauge-invariant and Coulomb-gauge formulations, and pion and kaon distribution amplitudes, obtaining results consistent with the published calculations. Extensions to transverse-momentum-dependent distributions, generalized transverse-momentum-dependent distributions, and gluonic distribution functions are planned for subsequent releases.

Confinement, String Breaking, and Hadronization in the Compact Abelian Higgs Model

While real-time simulation of Quantum Chromodynamics remains technologically out of reach, many simplified models for studying elements of QCD phenomenology are being investigated. In this work, we present a simple model, a spin-1 truncation of the Compact Abelian Higgs Model simulated on qutrit sites, in which confinement and string breaking are accessible to current simulation methods. In the low-energy regime of 1+1 dimensional scalar electrodynamics, the heavy modes are integrated out, producing a spin chain effective Hamiltonian in which Gauss' law is automatically satisfied. We study the spectrum of string-like excitations using DMRG methods on the order of 100 sites. We demonstrate that an added, local chemical potential, playing a role analogous to external charges, permits parameter-dependent measurements of physical features of interest like the string tension and effective meson mass. Varying the chemical potential also permits a characterization of string stability not assessed in prior studies of confining lattice models.

Efficient Quantum Simulations of Yang-Mills theory with Maximal-tree Gauge

We develop a quantum algorithmic framework for the efficient simulation of Yang--Mills theories, including the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ gauge theory in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The framework uses maximal-tree gauge in terms of gauge field variables that removes all local gauge redundancies. In the resulting gauge-fixed formulation and digitization in the field-amplitude basis, we show that Hamiltonian time evolution admits an efficient implementation based on quantum singular value transformation (QSVT). We derive upper bounds on the total number of qubits and gate complexity, finding polynomial scaling with the inverse simulation precision $1/\varepsilon_s$, lattice volume $\mathcal{V}$, gauge coupling $g$, and target energy scale $E$. Our results provide a rigorous complexity-theoretic demonstration that non-Abelian Yang--Mills theories can be simulated efficiently on quantum computers, paving the way toward first-principles quantum simulations of non-perturbative QCD dynamics.
