Continuous smearing of Wilson Loops.
Herbert Neuberger B, Robert Lohmayer · Proceedings of XXIX International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory — PoS(Lattice 2011) · 2012
Continuum smearing was introduced in section 4.1 of JHEP03, 064 (2006) as a meaningful continuum analogue of the well known set of lattice techniques by the same name.Here we apply continuous smearing in continuous space-time to Wilson loops in order to clarify what it does in the context of field theory and also in the context of the loop calculus of the Makeenko-Migdal equation.
