On the large N limit of SU(N) lattice gauge theories in five dimensions

We develop the necessary tools for computing fluctuations around a mean-field background in the context of SU(N) lattice gauge theories in five dimensions. In particular, expressions for the scalar observable and the Wilson Loop are given. As an application, using these observables we compute a certain quantity k5 that can be viewed as Coulomb's constant in five dimensions. We show that this quantity becomes independent of N in the large N limit. Furthermore, the numerical value of k5 we find for SU(infinity) deviates by 17% from its value predicted by holography.
