Research Abstract

We developed some technologies to analyze QCD, which describes strong force (one of the fundamental forces in nature), and QCD-like gauge theories using superstring theory. We showed in various examples that string theory makes it possible to analyze strongly coupled gauge theory, which is in general very difficult to achieve using traditional approaches. Our results show that string theory can provide very powerful analytic methods in QCD and QCD-like gauge theories.
