The [dual] string tension of a spatial 't Hooft loop in the deconfined phase of Yang-Mills theory can be formulated as the tension of an interface separating different Z_N deconfined vacua. We review the 1-loop perturbative calculation of this interface tension in the continuum and extend it to the lattice. The lattice corrections are large. Taking these corrections into account, we compare Monte Carlo measurements of the dual string tension with perturbation theory, for SU(2). Agreement is observed at the 2% level, down to temperatures O(10) T_c.

  1. Confinement as Decoding: Higher Form Codes and Lattice Yang-Mills Theory

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    Decoding a higher-form quantum code with Wilson-line noise is the same computation as comparing center-twisted Yang-Mills partition functions; the paper works out this dictionary and its strong-coupling consequences.

  2. Numerical Hints for Dyon Condensation at $\theta=2\pi$ via Wilson-'t Hooft Loops in $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills Theory

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Lattice computation of Wilson-'t Hooft loops supplies numerical evidence for dyon condensation at theta=2pi in SU(2) Yang-Mills.

  3. Dynamics of ($Z_N$) Domain Walls in SU(N) Gauge Theories

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Numerical simulations of Z_3 and Z_4 domain-wall collisions show vortex-antivortex creation mediating mergers in SU(3) and energy-dependent outcomes in SU(4), establishing a dynamical role for topological strings.

  4. Topological Strings in SU(3) Gauge Theory at Finite Temperature

    hep-lat 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lattice Monte Carlo simulations show Z3 topological strings in finite-temperature SU(3) gauge theory have free energy dominated by domain walls and decay near the deconfinement transition.
