Abstract

We study the question whether matrix models obtained in the zero volume limit of4dYang–Mills theories can describe largeNQCD strings. The matrix model we use is a variant of the Eguchi–Kawai model in terms of Hermitian matrices, but without any twists or quenching. This model was originally proposed as a toy model of the IIB matrix model. In contrast to common expectations, we do observe the area law for Wilson loops in a significant range of scale of the loop area. Numerical simulations show that this range is stable asNincreases up to 768, which strongly suggests that it persists in the largeNlimit. Hence the equivalence to QCD strings may hold for length scales inside a finite regime.
