We study the dual Wilson loop and the inter-monopole potential(the static potential between the color magnetic monopoles) in the maximally abelian gauge to clarify the dual Higgs mechanism induced by monopole condensation. There is no…
SU(3) lattice gauge theory is studied by means of an improved action where a $2 \times 2$ Wilson loop is supplemented to the standard plaquette term. By contrast to earlier studies using a tree level improvement, the prefactor of the $2…

Effective Polyakov loop theories are a useful tool for an investigation of pure Yang-Mills theory and full QCD. A systematic derivation of the effective action can be done in a spatial strong coupling expansion. Quite accurate predictions…
We start with an effective field theory containing classical vortex solutions and show that the fluctuations of these vortices are described by an effective string theory. Viewed as a model for long distance QCD, this theory provides a…
I investigate the higher-derivative conformal theory which shows how the Nambu-Goto and Polyakov strings can be told apart. Its energy-momentum tensor is conserved, traceless but does not belong to the conformal family of the unit operator.…
This paper is almost an exercise in which the Hamiltonian scheme is developed for Polyakov's classical string, by following the usual framework suggested by Dirac and Bergman for the reduction of gauge theories to their essential physical…
We calculate the energy spectrum of closed strings in SU(N) gauge theories with N=2,3,4,6,8 in 2+1 dimensions to a high accuracy. We attempt to control all systematic errors, and this allows us to perform a precise comparison with different…
Simulations in lattice gauge theory suggest that the formation of a flux tube between quark and antiquark leads to quark confinement. It is conjectured that the infrared behaviour of the flux tube is governed by an effective string theory…
The potential due to a system of three static quark (3Q) is studied using SU(3) lattice QCD at finite temperature with Polyakov loops operators. We focused our analysis on the large distance properties of the 3Q potential and found a good…
We put forward a Polyakov-loop extended quark meson model, where matter as well as glue fluctuations are taken into account, cf. [1]. The latter are included via a Polyakov-loop potential. Usually such a glue potential is based on…
