Quark confinement and the bosonic string

Abstract

Using a new type of simulation algorithm for the standard SU(3) lattice gauge theory that yields results with unprecedented precision, we confirm the presence of a $\gamma /r$ correction to the static quark potential at large distances $r$, with a coefficient $\gamma$ as predicted by the bosonic string theory. In both three and four dimensions, the transition from perturbative to string behaviour is evident from the data and takes place at surprisingly small distances.
