Introducing discussion of D=2 Yang-Mills theory: Early discussion of flux tubes/Wilson lines as effective strings in Yang-Mills theory (Gauge/String duality): “So the world sheet of string should be interpreted as the color magnetic dipole sheet. The string itself should be interpreted as the electric flux tube in the monopole plasma.” On the large-N limit of QCD: Alexander A.
