Abstract:

We study the junction between confining strings. We show that the EFT of the junction bears many generalities, where up to a very high order quantum corrections are completely determined by two classical parameters: string tension and junction mass. We demonstrate the open-closed duality of such junctions and identify interactions between string states. Surprisingly, we find selection rules and suggest constraints on the junction mass.
