Rectangular Wilson Loops at Large N    [PDF]

Robert Lohmayer, Herbert Neuberger

This work is about pure Yang Mills theory in four Euclidean dimensions with gauge group SU(N). We study rectangular smeared Wilson loops on the lattice at large N and relatively close to the large-N transition point in their eigenvalue density. We show that the string tension can be extracted from these loops but obtain a shape dependence different from the prediction of effective string theory.
