On the mass of the world-sheet ‘axion’ in SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions

There is numerical evidence that the world sheet action of the confining flux tube in D=3+1 SU(N) gauge theories contains a massive excitation with 0− quantum numbers whose mass shows some decrease as one goes from SU(3) to SU(5). Moreover it has been shown that the natural coupling of this pseudosc...
