Abstract We carry out a systematic study of the effective bosonic string describing confining flux tubes in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories in three spacetime dimensions. While their low-energy properties are known to be universal and are described well by the Nambu-Gotō action, a non-trivial dependence on the gauge group is encoded in a series of undetermined subleading corrections in an expansion around the limit of an arbitrarily long string. We quantify the first two of these corrections by means of high-precision Monte Carlo simulations of Polyakov-loop correlators in the lattice regularization. We compare the results of novel lattice simulations for theories with N = 3 and 6 color charges, and report an improved estimate for the N = 2 case, discussing the approach to the large-N limit. Our results are compatible with analytical bounds derived from the S-matrix bootstrap approach. In addition, we also present a new test of the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture for the SU(3) theory in three dimensions, finding that the lattice results for the Polyakov-loop correlation function are in excellent agreement with the predictions of the Svetitsky-Yaffe mapping, which are worked out quantitatively applying conformal perturbation theory to the three-state Potts model in two dimensions. The implications of these results are discussed. |
