Matrix theories from reduced SU(N) Yang-Mills with adjoint fermions

We consider a dimensional reduction of 3+1 dimensional SU(N) Yang-Mills theory coupled to adjoint fermions to obtain a class of 1 + 1 dimensional matrix field theories. We derive the quantized light-cone Hamiltonian in the light-cone gauge A_ = 0 and large-N limit, and then solve for the masses, wavefunctions and structure functions of the color singlet boson and fermion bound states. Among the states we study are many massless string-like states that can be solved for exactly.
