Description

Continuum reduction and Monte Carlo simulation are used to calculate the heavy quark potential and the string tension in large N Yang-Mills theory in three and four dimensions in the confined phase. In addition, the spatial string tension in the 2+1 high T phase is also measured. With reduction, the potential can be calculated out to separations larger than the lattice extent.
