Abstract
We present a high precision Monte Carlo study of the spectrum of the $Z_2$
gauge theory in $2+1$ dimensions in the strong coupling phase. Using state of
the art Monte Carlo techniques we are able to accurately determine up to three
masses in a single channel. We compare our results with the strong coupling
expansion for the lightest mass and with results for the universal ratio
$\sigma/m^2$ determined for the $\phi^4$-theory. Finally the whole spectrum is
compared with that obtained from the Isgur-Paton flux tube model and the
spectrum of the $2+1$ dimensional $SU2$ gauge theory. A remarkable agreement
between the Ising and SU2 spectra except for the lowest mass state is
found.
