The open flux-tube spectrum in SU(Nc) for Nc=3 to 6 shows massive axion-like states whose lightest mass, extrapolated to large Nc, is consistent with the worldsheet axion mass of the closed flux tube.

abstract
The use of novel perturbatively-improved gluonic actions on anisotropic lattices in which the temporal spacing is much smaller than that in the spatial directions is discussed. Such actions permit more efficient measurements of noisy correlation functions, such as glueball correlators, on coarse lattices. A derivation of these actions at tree-level is outlined; mean-field link renormalization plays a crucial role in their construction. Results for the low-lying glueball masses and the heavy-quark potential are presented.

The spectrum of open confining strings in the large-Nc limit
The open flux-tube spectrum in SU(Nc) for Nc=3 to 6 shows massive axion-like states whose lightest mass, extrapolated to large Nc, is consistent with the worldsheet axion mass of the closed flux tube.
