abstract
In the presence of a static quark--antiquark pair, the spectrum of the low-lying states in SU($N$) gauge theories is discrete and likely to be described, at large quark separations $r$, by an effective string theory. The expansion of the excitation energies in powers of $1/r$, which derives from the latter, involves an increasing number of unknown couplings that characterize the string self-interactions. Using open--closed string duality, we show that the possible values of the couplings are constrained by a set of algebraic relations. In particular, the corrections of order $1/r^2$ must vanish, while the $1/r^3$ terms (which we work out for the few lowest levels) depend on a single adjustable coupling only.

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...

A more effective QCD string at colliders: Decay of excited strings and the worldsheet axion
Excitations of the worldsheet axion in an effective QCD string theory produce a phase-dependent effective tension that exponentially modifies the rate of string breaking via quark pair nucleation.

Effective string description of the reconfined phase in the trace deformed $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions
In the reconfined phase of trace deformed SU(2) gauge theory, the flux tube energy follows the Polchinski-Yang rigid string rather than the Nambu-Goto string.

Intrinsic Width of the Flux Tube as a tool to explore confining mechanisms in Lattice Gauge Theories
Lattice data on the intrinsic width of SU(2) flux tubes in 2+1D distinguish confining models, favoring dual superconductor at low T but with length-dependent Ginzburg-Landau parameter.

Intrinsic width of the flux tube in 2+1 dimensional Yang-Mills therories
The flux tube profile in 2+1 SU(2) Yang-Mills is governed by a single intrinsic width that equals T/(2 sigma(T)) at high temperature.
