title: Large-N reduction in the continuum three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory.
abstract: Numerical and theoretical evidence leads us to propose the following: Three-dimensional Euclidean Yang-Mills theory in the planar limit undergoes a phase transition on a torus of side l=l(c). For l>l(c) the planar limit is l independent, as expected of a noninteracting string theory. We expect the situation in four dimensions to be similar.
