The structure of the chromoelectric string in the Euclidian formulation of Yang-Mills theory is studied by using multipoint correlation functions involving Wilson loop operators and the strength tensors of the gluon field. It is shown that the local densities of the action functional and the squared topological charge in the vicinity of the static-string axis must be markedly smaller than the corresponding values far off the string. Analytic results obtained in this study are in agreement with the results of a lattice simulation of Yang-Mills theory.
