Description
I'll review some recently-appreciated lessons from thinking about QCD and related theories on compactified directions with non-thermal boundary conditions. For example, such non-traditional compactifications sometimes allow one to define new analytically tractable regimes in gauge theory, which yield insights into the appearance of mass gaps, chiral symmetry breaking, and other dynamical phenomena.
