Since the introduction of QCD as the theory of gluons and quarks quite a lot of methods and toy models have been invoked to seek control on the theory. In particular: considering the theory in different space-time dimensions, analyzing lattice gauge theories, taking the limit of Nc the number of colors to infinity, varying Nf the number of flavors and studying
quiver models, applying chiral Lagrangians and Skyrme theory, using anomalies of global symmetries, considering supersymmetric QCD models, mapping to brane configurations, invoking the holographic duality, studying integrable toy models like planar N = 4, using stringy models and more. In some of these efforts tremendous developments have been achieved. But not too often there was an attempt to examine in detail to what extent have these models been efficient in deciphering QCD as manifested in nature in the form of Hadron Physics (HP). It seems that now it is the right moment to do it.
“When Large N QCD meets reality” was a title of a talk given by A. Manohar in 2003, the program aims at asking a similar question about several of the methods mentioned above, namely, Large N QCD, holography integrability and stringy model (LNHIS). We want to emphasize that the goal is not to review the progress made in these four domains of research but rather to confront them with the PDG.
The talks will take place at 10:30AM ET Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday
