Abstract

The small-scale structure of a string connecting a pair of static sources is explored for the weakly coupled anisotropic $SU (2)$ Yang-Mills theory in ( $2 + 1$ ) dimensions. A crucial ingredient in the formulation of the string Hamiltonian is the phenomenon of color smearing of the string constituents. The quark-antiquark potential is determined. We close with some discussion of the standard, fully Lorentz-invariant Yang-Mills theory.
