SU(N ) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions: glueball spectra and k-string tensions

We calculate the low-lying glueball spectrum and various string tensions in SU(N) lattice gauge theories in 2 + 1 dimensions, and extrapolate the results to the continuum limit. We do so for for the range N ∈ [2, 16] so as to control the N -dependence with a useful precision. We observe a number of...
