Some aspects of QCD in 1+1 dimensions

Diego Delmastro

I will discuss some features of QCD in 1+1 dimensions that have been understood recently. It turns out that one can effectively solve the system at strong coupling, and answer some questions that are generically out of reach for other QFTs. For example, one can explicitly determine which operators decouple at large distances, and which ones survive. In the case of adjoint QCD, it is known that the theory has 2^{N-1} vacua. One can write down which specific operators in the UV map to these vacua.
