Abstract: (Elsevier)
The static quark potential in a string model including extrinsic curvature effects is studied in the large d limit, where d is the dimensionality of euclidean space. At large distances it is explicitly shown that the physical string tension is dynamically generated. Examining the large-distance “Coulomb” term in the potential, we show that the non-perturbative effects in general generate non-gaussian effective theories in the infrared regime. At large distances the d → ∞ saddle point is stable for a large range of parameters.
