Selected writings:

Early discussion of flux tubes/Wilson lines as effective strings in Yang-Mills theory (Gauge/String duality):

• Yuri Makeenko, Alexander A. Migdal, Quantum chromodynamics as dynamics of loops, Nuclear Physics B 188 2 (1981) 269-316 [doi:10.1016/0550-3213(81)90258-3]

  “So the world sheet of string should be interpreted as the color magnetic dipole sheet. The string itself should be interpreted as the electric flux tube in the monopole plasma.”

On gauge theory (Yang-Mills theory):

• Yuri Makeenko, Methods of contemporary gauge theory, Cambridge Monographs on Math. Physics, Cambridge University Press (2002) [doi:10.1017/CBO9780511535147, gBooks]
