Steps towards generalization of tensionless string theory with contact interactions as Wilson loop of non-Abelian Yang–Mills theory

Abstract We propose a possible modification to the tensionless string model with contact interactions. The proposed model aims to reproduce the expectation value of a non-Abelian Wilson loop in Yang–Mills theory by integrating out string degrees of freedom with a fixed worldsheet boundary.

Description
Summary:Abstract We propose a possible modification to the tensionless string model with contact interactions. The proposed model aims to reproduce the expectation value of a non-Abelian Wilson loop in Yang–Mills theory by integrating out string degrees of freedom with a fixed worldsheet boundary. To reproduce path-ordering along the worldsheet boundary, we introduce Lie algebra-valued fields on the string worldsheet, whose dynamics are determined by the topological BF action. Without bulk contributions, we show that the model describes the non-Abelian Wilson loop, neglecting the effects of self-interactions. Finally, we test the reproduction of the Wilson loop with three-point interaction in the case of SU(2).
