Computation of the string tension in three dimensional Yang-Mills theory using large N reduction

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/204220We numerically compute the string tension in the large N limit of three dimensional Yang-Mills theory using Wilson loops. Space-time loops are formed as products of smeared space-like links and unsmeared time-like links. We use continuum reduction and both unfolded and folded Wilson loops in the analysis.13 pages, 10 figures, 2 tables, minor changes to the textHigh Energy Physics - TheoryHigh Energy Physics - LatticeComputation of the string tension in three dimensional Yang-Mills theory using large N reductiontext
