Renormalized Polyakov loop in the deconfined phase of SU(N) gauge theory and gauge-string duality.
We use gauge-string duality to analytically evaluate the renormalized Polyakov loop in pure Yang-Mills theories. For SU(3), the result is in quite good agreement with lattice simulations for a broad temperature range.
