Abstract
We study the large N saddle points of weakly coupled N = 4 super Yang- Mills theory on S1 × S3 that are described by a commuting matrix model for the seven scalar fields {A0,ΦJ}. We show that at temperatures below the Hagedorn/‘deconfinement’ transition the joint eigenvalue distribution is S1 × S5....

| Abstract: |
We study the large N saddle points of weakly coupled N = 4 super Yang- Mills theory on S1 × S3 that are described by a commuting matrix model for the seven scalar fields {A0,ΦJ}. We show that at temperatures below the Hagedorn/‘deconfinement’ transition the joint eigenvalue distribution is S1 × S5. At high temperatures T ≫ 1/RS3, the eigenvalues form an ellipsoid with topology S6. We show how the deconfinement transition realises the topology change S1 × S5 → S6. Furthermore, we find compelling evidence that when the temperature is increased to T = 1/(√λRS3 ) the saddle with S6 topology changes continuously to one with S5 topology in a new second order quantum phase transition occurring in these saddles. |
