Confinement on ${\mathbb{R}}^3\times {\mathbb{S}}^1$ and Double-String Collapse

Mathew W. Bub, Erich Poppitz, Samuel S. Y. Wong

We study confining strings in $\mathcal{N}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory in the semiclassical regime on ${\mathbb{R}}^{1,2}\times {\mathbb{S}}^1$. Static quarks are expe…
