In pure SU(N) gauge theory in four dimensions, we determine the string tension at large N from smeared rectangular Wilson loops on the lattice. We learn how well loops of sizes barely on the strong-coupling side of the large-N transition in…
We compute the one-loop coefficients for an alternative Symanzik improved pure gauge SU{N} lattice action (N=2 and N=3). For the standard Symanzik improved action we confirm previous results by L\"{u}scher and Weisz.
Recently it has been found that in a noncompact lattice regularization of the SU(2) gauge theory the physical volume is larger than in the Wilson theory with the same number of sites. In its original formulation the noncompact…
We propose a new algorithm to compute the order-order interface tension in SU(N) lattice gauge theories. The algorithm is trivially generalizable to a variety of models, e.g., spin models. In the case N=3, via the perfect wetting…
