| | Non-perturbative equivalences among large N gauge theories with adjoint and bifundamental matter fields (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | We prove an equivalence, in the large N limit, between certain U(N) gauge theories containing adjoint representation matter fields and their orbifold projections. |
 | | Lattice regularization is used to provide a non-perturbative definition of these theories; our proof applies in the strong coupling, large mass phase of the theories. |
 | | Loop equations for both expectation values of single-trace observables, and for connected correlators of such observables, are considered; hence the demonstrated non-perturbative equivalence applies to the large N limits of both string tensions and particle spectra. |
