In the reconfined phase of trace-deformed (2+1)D SU(2) gauge theory, Polyakov-loop data are accurately fit by the Polchinski-Yang rigid string while Nambu-Goto fails, with modified flux-tube width and a shift to first-order reconfinement.

abstract
Numerical and theoretical evidence leads us to propose the following: Three dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit undergoes a phase transition on a torus of side $l=l_c$. For $l>l_c$ the planar limit is $l$-independent, as expected of a non-interacting string theory. We expect the situation in four dimensions to be similar.

First non-asymptotic-scaling determination of the large-N Yang-Mills Λ-parameter yields √(8t₀)Λ_MS(N=∞) = 0.639(36).
Simulations of a partially reduced twisted Eguchi-Kawai model with one adjoint Dirac fermion show the Polyakov loop remains near zero for periodic boundary conditions as the compactified circle shrinks, supporting adiabatic continuity of the confined phase.

Confining Flux Tube in the Trace Deformed (2+1) Dimensional SU(2) Gauge Theory
In the reconfined phase of trace-deformed (2+1)D SU(2) gauge theory, Polyakov-loop data are accurately fit by the Polchinski-Yang rigid string while Nambu-Goto fails, with modified flux-tube width and a shift to first-order reconfinement.
