The large Nc limit plays a fundamental role in the study of non-abelian gauge theories such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Since its discovery in 1974 by ‘t Hooft, the 1/Nc expansion has provided …

The generalization of QCD from three to NC colors, developed in 1974 by Nobel laureate Gerard ‘t Hooft, has proved to be an extraordinarily useful and robust theoretical extension for studying the …
