Effective string tension in the finite-temperature smooth-string model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The temperature dependence of the string tension for Polyakov's smooth-string model is investigated in the large-D limit. The effective string tension is calculated to second order in the loop expansion. At low temperature, it differs from that of the Nambu model only by terms that fall exponentially with inverse temperature.
