Composite Strings in (2+1)-Dimensional Anisotropic Weakly-Coupled Yang-Mills Theory
Abstract
Description
The small-scale structure of a string connecting a pair of static sources is explored for the weakly-coupled anisotropic SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions. A crucial ingredient in the formulation of the string Hamiltonian is the phenomenon of color smearing of the string constituents. The quark-anti-quark potential is determined. We close with some discussion of the standard, fully Lorentz-invariant Yang-Mills theory.
