Abstract
A study of Wilson loop averages for finite size loops is initiated. Within the framework of euclidean four-dimensional lattice SU(2) gauge theory with elementary Wilson action we compute the expectation values of all rectangular loops to 12th order in the strong coupling expansion. The leading term for weak coupling is evaluated for loops up to 4 × 4. A comparison to Monte Carlo data is presented. Other related issues are also discussed.
