A $U(N)$ Gauge Theory in Three Dimensions as an Ensemble of Surfaces

Abstract

A particular U(N)U(N) gauge theory defined on the three dimensional dodecahedral lattice is shown to correspond to a model of oriented self-avoiding surfaces. Using large NN reduction it is argued that the model is partially soluble in the planar limit.
