Kleinert, H

I point out that in Euclidean space spontaneous strings (equivalentstrings with extrinsic curvature stiffness and spontaneously generated tension) can form glueballs, even at the classical level (in contrast with the ordinary string). In the limit of infinite dimensions, the fluctuations can be integrated out and the glueballs are found to have a mass to tension ratio of approx. =3.5 in the purely spontaneous case (equivalentno Nambu-Goto tension term in the action).
