Hollow Lattice Tensor Gauge Theories with Bosonic Matter
José M. Cruz, Masafumi Udagawa, Pedro Bicudo +2
Higher rank gauge theories are generalizations of electromagnetism where, in addition to overall charge conservation, there is also conservation of higher rank multipoles such as t…

The spectrum of open confining strings in the large-Nc limit
Alireza Sharifian, Andreas Athenodorou, Pedro Bicudo
In this study, we conduct a thorough examination of the spectrum of the open confining string in 3+1 dimensions, commonly referred to as the open flux-tube, across various gauge gr…

The spectrum of open confining strings in the large- limit
Alireza Sharifian, Andreas Athenodorou, Pedro Bicudo
We compute the spectra of open flux tubes formed between a static quark-antiquark pair for various gauge groups in the large- limit, focusing on different symmetries manifeste…
