String models of glueballs and the spectrum of SU(N) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions

The spectrum of glueballs in 2 +1 dimensions is calculated within an extended class of Isgur-Paton flux tube models and compared to lattice calculations of the low-lying SU(N≥2) glueball mass spectrum. Our modifications of the model include a string curvature term and a new way of dealing with the s...
