On Eigenvalue Decompactification in QCD$_{1+1} $
arXiv:hep-th/9503155 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(95)00792-J
Abstract
The question whether it is necessary to decompactify the gauge eigenvalue degrees of freedom in QCD$_{1+1} $ is addressed. A careful consideration of the dynamics governing these degrees of freedom leads to the conclusion that eigenvalue decompactification is not necessary due to the curvature on the space of eigenvalues.
