ABSTRACT
This research proposes a systematic program to investigate baryon junction dynamics in (3+1)-dimensional SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, integrating lattice QCD simulations, effective string theory, and holographic methods.

Key findings
The baryon junction mass scales as M/√σ≈0.13−0.14 in the continuum limit.
Predicted deviation of less than 5% between (2+1) and (3+1) dimensions based on large-N arguments.
Addresses critical gaps in understanding confinement mechanisms.
Limitations & open questions
All existing lattice determinations of M have been performed in (2+1) dimensions.
The full structure of effective string corrections at higher orders is not yet established.
