Change ofθDependence in 4DSU(N)Gauge Theories Across the Deconfinement Transition

Towards the Deconfinement Phase Transition in Hot Gauge Theories ∗ †

The phase structure of hot gauge theories with dynamical matter fields is reexamined in the canonical ensemble with respect to triality. We discuss properties of chromoelectric and chromomagnetic sectors of the theory and show whereas electric charges carrying a unit of Z(Nc) charge are screened at high temperatures via dynamical matter loops, this is not the case for the Z(Nc) magnetic flux. A...

Finite - size scaling and the deconfinement transition in gauge theories

We introduce a new method for determining the critical indices of the deconfinement transition in gauge theories. The method is based on the finite size scaling behavior of the expectation value of simple lattice operators, such as the plaquette. We test the method for the case of SU (3) pure gauge theory in (2 + 1) dimensions and obtain a precise determination of the critical index ν, in agree...

The deconfinement transition in SU(N) gauge theories

We investigate the properties of the deconfinement transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories. We find that it is a ‘normal’ first order transition in both cases, from which we conclude that the transition is first order in the N → ∞ limit. Comparing our preliminary estimates of the continuum values of Tc/ √ σ with existing values for SU(2) and SU(3) demonstrates a weak dependence on N for al...

Two Geometric Approaches To Study The Deconfinement Phase Transition in (3+1)-Dimensional Z2 Gauge Theories

We have simulated (3+1)−dimensional finite temperature Z2 gauge theory by using Metropolis algorithm. We aimed to observe the deconfinement phase transitions by using geometric methods. In order to do so we have proposed two different methods which can be applied to 3−dimensional effective spin model consisting of Polyakov loop variables. The first method is based on studies of cluster structur...
