- Description
- The behaviour of the space-like string tension in the high temperature phase is studied. Data obtained in the <math>Z_2\,\!</math> gauge model in <math>(2 + 1)\,\!</math> dimensions are compared with predictions of a simple model of a fluctuating flux tube with finite thickness. It is shown that in the high temperature phase contributions coming from the fluctuations of the flux tube vanish. As a consequence we also show that in <math>(2 +1)\,\!</math> dimensional gauge theories the thickness of the flux tube coincides with the inverse of the deconfinement temperature.
