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...
متن کاملFinite-size scaling and deconfinement transition: the case of 4D SU(2) pure gauge theory
A recently introduced method for determining the critical indices of the deconfinement transition in gauge theories, already tested for the case of 3D SU(3) pure gauge theory, is applied here to 4D SU(2) pure gauge theory. The method is inspired by universality and based on the finite size scaling behavior of the expectation value of simple lattice operators, such as the plaquette. We obtain an...
متن کاملTowards 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...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملFinite-size scaling at the jamming transition.
We present an analysis of finite-size effects in jammed packings of N soft, frictionless spheres at zero temperature. There is a 1/N correction to the discrete jump in the contact number at the transition so that jammed packings exist only above isostaticity. As a result, the canonical power-law scalings of the contact number and elastic moduli break down at low pressure. These quantities exhib...
