摘要:Supersymmetric Yang-Mills quantum mechanics (SYMQM) results from the dimensional reduction
of the Yang-Mills field theory in D space-time dimensions to a single point in the D−1
dimensional space. It can be also viewed as the effective quantum mechanics of zero momentum
modes of the original theory [1]. These systems were first considered in 80’s [2] as simple models
with supersymmetry [3]. Independently, zero-volume field theories (especially pure Yang-Mills)
were employed as the starting point of the small volume expansion, which is an important theoretical
tool complementary to early lattice calculations [4, 5, 6]. Later the models attracted a new
wave of interest after the hypothesis of the equivalence, between the D = 10,SU(¥) SYMQM
and a M-theory of D0 branes [7, 8, 9, 10].
In this talk some new results obtained for the D = 4 system with SU(2) gauge symmetry will be
presented.
