High-temperature partition function of the rigid string.

چکیده
We find that the high temperature limit of the free energy per unit length for the rigid string agrees dimensionally with that of the QCD string (unlike the Nambu-Goto string). The sign, and in fact the phase, do not agree. While this may be a clue to a string theory of QCD, we note that the problem of the fourth derivative action makes it impossible for the rigid string to be a correct description.

Partition functions for the rigid string and membrane at any temperature.
Exact expressions for the partition functions of the rigid string and membrane at any temperature are obtained in terms of hypergeometric functions. By using zeta function regularization methods, the results are analytically continued and written as asymptotic sums of Riemann-Hurwitz zeta functions, which provide very good numerical approximations with just a few first terms. This allows to obt...
متن کاملAsymptotic Freedom in a String Model of High Temperature QCD
Recently we have shown that a phase transition occurs in the leading and subleading approximation of the large N limit in rigid strings coupled to long range Kalb-Ramond interactions. The disordered phase is essentially the Nambu-GotoPolyakov string theory while the ordered phase is a new theory. In this letter we compute the free energy per unit length of the interacting rigid string at finite...
متن کاملHigh-temperature limit of the confining phase.
The deconfining transition in non-Abelian gauge theory is known to occur by a condensation of Wilson lines. By expanding around an appropriate Wilson line background, it is possible at large N to analytically continue the confining phase to arbitrarily high temperatures , reaching a weak coupling confinement regime. This is used to study the high temperature partition function of an SU(N) elect...

We compare the predictions of the effective string description of confinement in finite temperature gauge theories to high precision Monte Carlo data for the three-dimensional Z2 gauge theory. First we review the predictions of the free bosonic string model and their asymptotic behavior in the various regimes of physical interest. Then we show that very good agreement with the Monte Carlo data ...
متن کاملThe Accurate Computation of Partition Functions in Non-rigid Molecules
A software tool for the computation of equilibrium properties in flexible, non-rigid, molecular systems is developed. The program can use semi-rigid and anharmonic models to obtain the rotational and vibrational contributions to the partition function. In addition, a semi-empirical procedure is developed to refine the partition function using experimental information. The program is employed to...
