Baryons and confining strings
Abstract
The subleading term of the heavy quark potential (the analogue of the Luscher term) is computed in a string model for the case of three quarks. It turns out to be positive in 2+1 dimensions, making the potential non-concave as a function of the scale for fixed geometry. The results are compared to numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory.
