Simeon Hellerman, Shunsuke Maeda, Jonathan Maltz +1
In this set of notes we simplify the formulation of the Poincare'-invariant effective string theory in D dimensions by adding an intrinsic metric and embedding its dynamics into th…

Deconfinement transition as black hole formation by the condensation of QCD strings
Masanori Hanada, Jonathan Maltz, Leonard Susskind
We argue that the deconfinement transition of large-N Yang-Mills theory is the condensation of very long and self-intersecting chromo-electric flux strings (QCD string), which is a…
