Renormalized Polyakov Loop in the Deconfined Phase of SU(N) Gauge Theory and Gauge-String Duality
Abstract
We use gauge-string duality to analytically evaluate the renormalized Polyakov loop in pure Yang-Mills theories. For SU(3), the result is in quite good agreement with lattice simulations for a broad temperature range.
