Abstract

We consider the phenomenon of string breaking in the context of the spatial Wilson loops using the gauge/string duality. In particular, we discuss the impact of light flavors on the pseudopotential. We also introduce the notion of the spatial string breaking distance and estimate it for SU(3)SU(3) gauge theory in the temperature range 0-3Tc0\,\text{-}\,3\,T_c.
