Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) describe a broad range of phenomena in condensed matter and particle physics. A prominent example is confinement, responsible for bounding quarks inside hadrons such as protons or neutrons. When quark-antiquark…

We study the general low-energy effective action on long open strings, such as confining strings in pure gauge theories. Using Lorentz invariance, we find that for a string of length R, the leading deviation from the Nambu-Goto energy…

The static three-quark potential and pseudo-potential of a pure SU(3) gauge theory are studied in a five-dimensional framework known as AdS/QCD. The results support the Y-ansatz for the baryonic area law. A comparison with the…

In presence of a static pair of sources, the spectrum of low-lying states of whatever confining gauge theory in D space-time dimensions is described, at large source separations, by an effective string theory. In the far infrared the latter…

We compute the spectra of open flux tubes formed between a static quark-antiquark pair for various gauge groups in the large-$N_c$ limit, focusing on different symmetries manifested by the quantum numbers of angular momentum, parity, and…

We present here the results of our high accuracy simulations of $q\bar q$ potential in $d=4$ SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. We measure this quantity by measuring the {\it Polyakov Loop Correlators} using the {\it exponential variance reduction…

We present perturbative calculation of the width of the energy profile of rigid strings up to two loops in D dimensions. The perturbative expansion of the extrinsic curvature term signifying the rigidity/smoothness of the string in…

Quantum theory of 2d gravity for $c>1$ is examined as a non-critical string theory by taking account of the loop-correction of open strings whose end points are on the 2d world surface of the closed string. This loop-correction leads to a…

Spectra with full towers of levels are expected due to the quantization of the string vibrations, however different theoretical models exist for the excitation spectra. First principle computations are important to test the different models…

We study the distribution of P-vortices near the confining string in the indirect Z(2) projection of SU(2) lattice gauge theory. It occurs that the density of vortices is constant at large distances and strongly suppressed near the line…

Understanding flux string dynamics can provide insight into quark confinement and hadronization. First-principles quantum and numerical simulations have mostly focused on toy-model Abelian lattice gauge theories (LGTs). With the advent of…

We discuss the effective string picture for the confining regime of lattice gauge theories at zero and finite temperature. We present results of extensive Monte Carlo simulations - performed with the Luscher and Weisz algorithm - for SU(2)…

Using matrix product states, we explore numerically the phenomenology of string breaking in a non-Abelian lattice gauge theory, namely 1+1 dimensional SU(2). The technique allows us to study the static potential between external heavy…

We investigate the continuum limit of a compact formulation of the lattice U(1) gauge theory in 4 dimensions using a nonperturbative gauge-fixed regularization. We find clear evidence of a continuous phase transition in the pure gauge…

We report about an ongoing lattice field theory project concerned with the investigation of heavy hybrid mesons. In particular we discuss our computation of the structure of hybrid static potential flux tubes in SU(2) lattice Yang-Mills…

The spatial distribution of the action and energy in the colour fields of flux-tubes is studied in lattice SU(2) field theory for static quarks at separations up to 1 fm. Special attention is paid to the structure of the colour fields…

We compute hybrid static potentials in SU(2) lattice gauge theory using a multilevel algorithm and three different small lattice spacings. The resulting static potentials, which are valid for quark-antiquark separations as small as 0.05 fm,…

String breaking by dynamical quarks in (2+1)-d lattice QCD is demonstrated in this project, by measuring the static potential and the local color-electric field strength between a heavy quark and antiquark pair at large separations.…

The spectrum of glueballs in 2+1 dimensions is calculated within an extended class of Isgur-Paton flux tube models and is compared to lattice calculations of the low-lying SU(N) glueball mass spectra. Our modifications of the model include…

The lattice phase structure of a gauge theory can be a serious obstruction to Monte Carlo studies of its continuum behaviour. This issue is particularly delicate when numerical studies are performed to determine whether a theory is in a…
