We study confining strings in ${cal{N}}=1$ supersymmetric $SU(N_c)$ Yang-Mills theory in the semiclassical regime on $mathbb{R}^{1,2} times mathbb{S}^1$. Static quarks are expected to be confined by double strings composed of two domain walls - which are lines in $mathbb{R}^2$ - rather than by a single flux tube. Each domain wall carries part of the quarks chromoelectric flux. We numerically study this mechanism and find that double-string confinement holds for strings of all $N$-alities, except for those between fundamental quarks. We show that, for $N_c ge 5$, the two domain walls confining unit $N$-ality quarks attract and form non-BPS bound states, collapsing to a single flux line. We determine the $N$-ality dependence of the string tensions for $2 le N_c le 10$. Compared to known scaling laws, we find a weaker, almost flat $N$-ality dependence, which is qualitatively explained by the properties of BPS domain walls. We also quantitatively study the behavior of confining strings upon increasing the $mathbb{S}^1$ size by including the effect of virtual $W$-bosons and show that the qualitative features of double-string confinement persist.

In the leading order of the large-$N$ approximation, we study the renormalon ambiguity in the gluon (or, more appropriately, photon) condensate in the 2D supersymmetric $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ model on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ with the $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted b oundary conditions. In our large~$N$ limit, the combination $Lambda R$, where $Lambda$ is the dynamical scale and $R$~is the $S^1$ radius, is kept fixed (we set $Lambda Rll1$ so that the perturbative expansion with respect to the coupling constant at the mass scale~$1/R$ is meaningful). We extract the perturbative part from the large-$N$ expression of the gluon condensate and obtain the corresponding Borel transform~$B(u)$. For~$mathbb{R}times S^1$, we find that the Borel singularity at~$u=2$, which exists in the system on the uncompactified~$mathbb{R}^2$ and corresponds to twice the minimal bion action, disappears. Instead, an unfamiliar renormalon singularity emph{emerges/} at~$u=3/2$ for the compactified space~$mathbb{R}times S^1$. The semi-classical interpretation of this peculiar singularity is not clear because $u=3/2$ is not dividable by the minimal bion action. It appears that our observation for the system on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ prompts reconsideration on the semi-classical bion picture of the infrared renormalon.
By employing the $1/N$ expansion, we compute the vacuum energy~$E(deltaepsilon)$ of the two-dimensional supersymmetric (SUSY) $mathbb{C}P^{N-1}$ model on~$mathbb{R}times S^1$ with $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions to the second order in a SUS Y-breaking parameter~$deltaepsilon$. This quantity was vigorously studied recently by Fujimori et al. using a semi-classical approximation based on the bion, motivated by a possible semi-classical picture on the infrared renormalon. In our calculation, we find that the parameter~$deltaepsilon$ receives renormalization and, after this renormalization, the vacuum energy becomes ultraviolet finite. To the next-to-leading order of the $1/N$ expansion, we find that the vacuum energy normalized by the radius of the~$S^1$, $R$, $RE(deltaepsilon)$ behaves as inverse powers of~$Lambda R$ for~$Lambda R$ small, where $Lambda$ is the dynamical scale. Since $Lambda$ is related to the renormalized t~Hooft coupling~$lambda_R$ as~$Lambdasim e^{-2pi/lambda_R}$, to the order of the $1/N$ expansion we work out, the vacuum energy is a purely non-perturbative quantity and has no well-defined weak coupling expansion in~$lambda_R$.
We report the results of the lattice simulation of the ${mathbb C} P^{N-1}$ sigma model on $S_{s}^{1}$(large) $times$ $S_{tau}^{1}$(small). We take a sufficiently large ratio of the circumferences to approximate the model on ${mathbb R} times S^1$. F or periodic boundary condition imposed in the $S_{tau}^{1}$ direction, we show that the expectation value of the Polyakov loop undergoes a deconfinement crossover as the compactified circumference is decreased, where the peak of the associated susceptibility gets sharper for larger $N$. For ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ twisted boundary condition, we find that, even at relatively high $beta$ (small circumference), the regular $N$-sided polygon-shaped distributions of Polyakov loop leads to small expectation values of Polyakov loop, which implies unbroken ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ symmetry if sufficient statistics and large volumes are adopted. We also argue the existence of fractional instantons and bions by investigating the dependence of the Polyakov loop on $S_{s}^{1}$ direction, which causes transition between ${mathbb Z}_{N}$ vacua.
We analyse several physical aspects of the dressed elliptic strings propagating on $mathbb{R} times mathrm{S}^2$ and of their counterparts in the Pohlmeyer reduced theory, i.e. the sine-Gordon equation. The solutions are divided into two wide classes ; kinks which propagate on top of elliptic backgrounds and those which are non-localised periodic disturbances of the latter. The former class of solutions obey a specific equation of state that is in principle experimentally verifiable in systems which realize the sine-Gordon equation. Among both of these classes, there appears to be a particular class of interest the closed dressed strings. They in turn form four distinct subclasses of solutions. Unlike the closed elliptic strings, these four subclasses, exhibit interactions among their spikes. These interactions preserve a carefully defined turning number, which can be associated to the topological charge of the sine-Gordon counterpart. One particular class of those closed dressed strings realizes instabilities of the seed elliptic solutions. The existence of such solutions depends on whether a superluminal kink with a specific velocity can propagate on the corresponding elliptic sine-Gordon solution. Finally, the dispersion relations of the dressed strings are studied. A qualitative difference between the two wide classes of dressed strings is discovered. This would be an interesting subject for investigation in the dual field theory.
We study the infrared renormalon in the gluon condensate in the $SU(N)$ gauge theory with $n_W$-flavor adjoint Weyl fermions (QCD(adj.)) on~$mathbb{R}^3times S^1$ with the $mathbb{Z}_N$ twisted boundary conditions. We rely on the so-called large-$bet a_0$ approximation as a conventional tool to analyze the renormalon, in which only Feynman diagrams that dominate in the large-$n_W$ limit are considered while the coefficient of the vacuum polarization is set by hand to the one-loop beta function~$beta_0=11/3-2n_W/3$. In the large~$N$ limit within the large-$beta_0$ approximation, the W-boson, which acquires the twisted Kaluza--Klein momentum, produces the renormalon ambiguity corresponding to the Borel singularity at~$u=2$. This provides an example that the system in the compactified space~$mathbb{R}^3times S^1$ possesses the renormalon ambiguity identical to that in the uncompactified space~$mathbb{R}^4$. We also discuss the subtle issue that the location of the Borel singularity can change depending on the order of two necessary operations.
