On the representation (in)dependence of $k$-strings in pure Yang-Mills theory via supersymmetry

Mohamed M. Anber, Vito Pellizzani

We exploit a conjectured continuity between super Yang-Mills on ${\mathbb{R}}^3\times {\mathbb{S}}^1$ and pure Yang-Mills to study $k$-strings in the latter theory. As expected, we find…
