Abstract: (Elsevier)
The spatial string tension of an SU(N) gauge theory without quarks is calculated using gauge/string duality for 1.2Tc⩽T⩽3Tc . The result is remarkably consistent with the available lattice data for N=2,3 . Some evidence is found that to leading order the large distance physics of a string can be described by a five-dimensional geometry without a need for an internal space.
