Continuum limit of the spectrum of the hadronic string

Abstract

We look at the continuum limit of the two universal predictions of the hadronic string theory namely the Luescher term and the energy difference between successive energy states in three dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory using Wilson loops and Polyakov loop correlators. We also compare our simulation data with the theoretical predictions in hep-th/0406205.
