The spatial string tension in the deconfined phase of three dimensional QCD in the large N limit

TL;DR

This paper numerically investigates the behavior of the spatial string tension in three-dimensional QCD at large N, revealing a linear increase with temperature in the deconfined phase.

Contribution

It provides the first numerical evidence that the spatial string tension in 3D large N QCD grows linearly with temperature in the deconfined phase.

Findings

Spatial string tension increases linearly with temperature.

Results support theoretical predictions of deconfined phase behavior.

Numerical methods confirm large N QCD properties.

Abstract

We numerically compute the spatial string tension in the deconfined phase of three dimensional QCD in the large N limit. Our results clearly show that the string tension grows linearly with temperature.
