Line defects in the 3d Ising model
M. Billó, M. Caselle, D. Gaiotto +3
We investigate the properties of the twist line defect in the critical 3d Ising model using Monte Carlo simulations. In this model the twist line defect is the boundary of a surfac…

The Lorentz-invariant boundary action of the confining string and its universal contribution to the inter-quark potential
M. Billo, M. Caselle, F. Gliozzi +2
We study the boundary contribution to the low energy effective action of the open string describing the confining flux tube in gauge theories. The form of the boundary terms is str…

New numerical results and novel effective string predictions for Wilson loops
Marco Billo', Michele Caselle, Roberto Pellegrini
We compute the prediction of the Nambu-Goto effective string model for a rectangular Wilson loop up to three loops. This is done through the use of an operatorial, first order form…
