Abstract

The next-to-leading term in the weight factor of the string representation of the 't Hooft loop average defined on the string world-sheet is found in the Abelian Higgs Model near the Londons' limit. This term emerges due to the finiteness of the coupling constant and, in contrast to the Londons' limit, where only the bilocal cumulant in the expansion of the 't Hooft average survived, leads to the appearance of the quartic cumulant. Apart from the Londons' penetration depth of the vacuum, which was a typical fall-off scale of the bilocal cumulant, the quartic cumulant depends also on the other characteristic length of the Abelian Higgs Model, the correlation radius of the Higgs field.
