Description
We present results from an investigation of the $N$-dependency of the confined-deconfined interface tension in pure $SU(N)$ gauge theories at large $N$. By measuring the transverse fluctuations of the surface on large lattices, we determine the surface tension up to $N = 16$ and observe unambiguously that it scales as $N^2$. Our results show that in the continuum limit the surface tension can be described by $\sigma / T^3_c = -0.16(4) + 0.0173(11)N^2 (N\geq4)$.
