We use lattice techniques to calculate the continuum string tensions of SU(N) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions. We attempt to control all systematic errors at a level that allows us to perform a precise test of the analytic prediction of Karabali, Kim and Nair. We find that their prediction is within 3% of our values for all N and that the discrepancy decreases with increasing N. When we extrapolate our results to N=oo we find that there remains a discrepancy of ~ 1%, which is a convincing ~6 sigma effect. Thus, while the Karabali-Nair analysis is remarkably accurate at N=oo, it is not exact.

    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.
