Large N QCD -- Continuum reduction and chiral condensate

TL;DR

This paper discusses how continuum reduction in large N QCD allows for the calculation of physical quantities, such as the chiral condensate, in small volumes by taking the large N limit.

Contribution

It demonstrates the application of continuum reduction to compute the chiral condensate in large N QCD, illustrating a method to extract physical quantities from small-volume simulations.

Findings

Continuum reduction enables calculations in small volumes.

Chiral condensate can be reliably computed in the large N limit.

Method simplifies non-perturbative QCD computations.

Abstract

Continuum reduction in large N QCD enables one to extract physical quantities in the $N\to\infty$ limit of QCD by working in small physics volumes. The computation of chiral condensate is an example of such a calculation.
