Abstract

It is pointed out that the sine law for the k\ensuremath-string tension emerges as the critical threshold below which the spatial Z_N symmetry of the static baryon potential is spontaneously broken. This result applies not only to SU(N) gauge theories, but to any gauge system with stable k\ensuremath-strings admitting a baryon vertex made with N sources in the fundamental representation. Some simple examples are worked out.
