Abstract

In this talk, I will discuss confinement in adjoint QCD in two spacetime dimensions. In particular, I will derive from first principles the non-relativistic Schrodinger equation that describes the low-lying bound states of the two dimensional adjoint QCD in the limit of heavy quark masses and large number of colors. I will discuss the spectrum of bound states of two and three adjoint quarks. I will also present the associated classical many body system. I will show that the system is sensitive to initial conditions. Chaotic dynamical systems are in particular known to exhibit such behavior. In general, it might be of interest to gain insights into chaos theory. The talk is based on my recent paper: arXiv:2212.02162[hep-th]
