Abstract

Light-cone coordinates and supersymmetric discrete light-cone quantization are used to analyze the thermodynamics of two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum chromodynamics with a Chern-Simons term in the large-N_c approximation. This requires estimation of the entire spectrum of the theory, which is done with a new algorithm based on Lanczos iterations. Although this work is still in progress, some preliminary results are presented.
