Abstract

Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 dimensions showed to be a research area yielding firm results in theoretical physics when compared to lattice computations. Recent analysis displayed astonishing agreement for the value of the string tension and excellent comparison for the spectrum. This successful approach can be put at test with a different theoretical framework that we devised in our preceding work for the scalar field theory in the strong coupling limit. The confirmations we get are really striking supporting it in full. As a by-product we are also able to show how AdS/CFT approach, with a description using flux tubes, is supported exactly as expected in the Isgur-Paton model with a dimensionless correction factor for the ground state of the theory already determined in lattice computations.
