Functional Relation of interquark potential with interquark distance

TL;DR

This paper derives an explicit functional relation between interquark potential and distance using the Nambu-Goto action in AdS5×S5, with broader applicability and implications for confinement.

Contribution

It presents a new explicit derivation of the interquark potential-distance relation in AdS/CFT, extending to general backgrounds and discussing confinement implications.

Findings

Explicit relation between interquark potential and distance derived

Relation holds in general backgrounds beyond AdS5×S5

Implications for understanding confinement in gauge theories

Abstract

The functional relation between interquark potential and interquark distance is explicitly derived by considering the Nambu--Goto action in the $AdS_5 \times S^5$ background. It is also shown that a similar relation holds in a general background. The implications of this relation for confinement are briefly discussed.
