Confining Strings and the Worldsheet Axion from the Lattice
Andreas Athenodorou, Sergei Dubovsky, Conghuan Luo +1
We present a major update on the spectrum of closed flux tubes in gauge theories. We measure the excitation spectrum of confining strings wound around a spatial dim…

Towards an Effective String Theory for the flux tube
Andreas Athenodorou, Sergei Dubovsky, Conghuan Luo +1
The quest to develop an effective string theory capable of describing the confining flux tube has been a longstanding objective within the theoretical physics community. Recent lat…
