Prospects for large N gauge theories on the lattice

Abstract

I will review recent progress on addressing large N gauge theories on the lattice. The focus will be put on the use of large N volume independence as an effective tool to compute non-perturbative dynamics at, otherwise unreachable, large number of colours. A selection of results will be presented and future prospects and challenges for the study of large N QCD and various extensions will be discussed.
