Large N gauge theory and k-strings

We considered the k-antisymmetric representation of U(N) gauge group on two dimensional lattice space and derived the free energy by saddle point approximation in large N limit. k is a large integer comparable with N. Besides Gross-Witten phase transition[1], which happens as the coupling constant c...
