It can be also viewed as the effective quantum mechanics of zero momentum a l modes of the original theory [1]. These systems were first considered in 80’s [2] as simple models p- with supersymmetry [3]. Independently, zero-volume field theories (especially pure Yang-Mills) 5 e were employed as the starting point of the small volume expansion, which is an important theo- ) h 2 : retical tool complementary to early lattice calculations [4, 5, 6].
