SUMMARY:Large N emergent symmetries in confining gauge theories
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Aleksey Cherman\, INT\, U. of Washington\n\nPart of t
	he HET Seminar Series.\n\nAbstract:  The large N limit of confined-phase 4D
	 gauge theories is a free limit in terms of the physical degrees of freedom
	\, the mesons and glueballs.   But the resulting free theories have not bee
	n solved despite 40 years of attempts\, essentially due to the difficulty o
	f finding some principle that would usefully constrain the spectral problem
	. I'll explain some old and new reasons to suspect that there may be powerf
	ul emergent symmetries organizing the spectrum of large N confining theorie
	s.  In a setting where the large N spectrum can be explored analytically\, 
	I'll show some recent concrete evidence for the existence of surprising eme
	rgent symmetries in the large N limit.  These symmetries end up implying so
	me remarkable relations between 4D confining theories and 2D conformal fiel
	d theories\, as well as\, for instance\, intricate Bose-Fermi correlations 
	in manifestly non-supersymmetric large N theories.
