We calculate an effective Polyakov line action of QCD at large Nc and large
Nf from a combined lattice strong coupling and hopping expansion working to
second order in both, where the order is defined by the number of windings in
the Polyakov line. We compare with the action, truncated at the same order, of
continuum QCD on S^1 x S^d at weak coupling from one loop perturbation theory,
and find that a large Nc correspondence of equations of motion found in
\cite{Hollowood:2012nr} at leading order, can be extended to the next order.
Throughout the paper, we review the background necessary for computing higher
order corrections to the lattice effective action, in order to make higher
order comparisons more straightforward.Comment: 33 pages, 7 figure
