This conference talk by Diego Garcia Sepulveda from the University of Chicago explores Particle-Soliton Degeneracy in 2D Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Delve into the complex world of strongly interacting Quantum Field Theory with applications to physical systems, particularly focusing on the strong nuclear force described by QCD. Learn about Yang-Mills theory that exhibits asymptotic freedom but becomes strongly coupled at long distances, where phenomena like quark confinement and chiral symmetry breaking occur. The presentation is part of a conference aimed at stimulating interplay between lattice and continuum approaches to QFT, covering topics such as Euclidean and Hamiltonian approaches to lattice field theory, string-theoretic approaches to confining flux tubes, and lower-dimensional models for QCD. Co-sponsored by the Simons Collaboration on Confinement and QCD Strings, this 44-minute talk contributes to the ongoing dialogue between different theoretical approaches to understanding fundamental physics.
