    Abstract:

    I summarise what recent lattice calculations tell us about the large-N limit of SU(N) gauge theories in 3+1 dimensions. The focus is on confinement, how close SU(∞) is to SU(3), new stable strings at larger N, deconfinement, topology and θ-vacua. I discuss the effective string theory description, as well as master fields, space-time reduction and non-analyticity.
