Spatial string tension revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spatial string tension, a classic non-perturbative probe for the convergence of the weak-coupling expansion at high temperatures, can be determined in full QCD as well as in a dimensionally reduced effective theory. Comparing both approaches, we find surprisingly good agreement almost down to the critical temperature of the deconfinement phase transition. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

متن کاملThe spatial string tension in the deconfined phase of three dimensional QCD in the large N limit
We numerically compute the spatial string tension in the deconfined phase of three dimensional QCD in the large N limit. Our results clearly show that the string tension grows linearly with temperature.
متن کاملCosmic Superstrings Revisited
It is possible that superstrings, as well as other one-dimensional branes, could have been produced in the early universe and then expanded to cosmic size today. I discuss the conditions under which this will occur, and the signatures of these strings. Such cosmic superstrings could be the brightest objects visible in gravitational wave astronomy, and might be distinguishable from gauge theory ...
متن کاملThe Spatial String Tension in the Deconfined Phase of SU(N) Gauge Theory and Gauge/String Duality
The spatial string tension of a SU(N) gauge theory without quarks is calculated using gauge/string duality for 1.2Tc ≤ T ≤ 3Tc. The result is remarkably consistent with the available lattice data for N = 2, 3. Some evidence is found that to leading order the large distance physics of a string can be described by a five-dimensional geometry without a need for an internal space. PACS: 12.38.Lg; 1...
متن کاملSpatial string tension of finite temperature QCD matter in gauge / gravity duality
The computation of the spatial string tension of finite temperature QCD is discussed in QCD and in a gravity+scalar model of gauge/gravity duality.
