Universal properties of the confining string in the random percolation model

Abstract

Random percolation can be fully interpreted as a confining pure gauge theory. With numerical high-precision measurements of Polyakov-Polyakov correlators at finite temperature, we could well observe the presence of shape effects due to rough fluctuations of the confining string, in complete agreement with the universality predictions up to the next-to-leading order.
