Finite-size scaling and deconfinement transition: the case of 4D SU(2) pure gauge theory
نویسنده
چکیده
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 accurate determination of the critical index ν, in agreement with the prediction of the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture.

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 کاملScaling, asymptotic scaling, and Symanzik improvement: Deconfinement temperature in SU(2) pure gauge theory.
We report on a high statistics simulation of SU(2) pure gauge field theory at finite temperature, using Symanzik action. We determine the critical coupling for the deconfinement phase transition on lattices up to 8× 24, using Finite Size Scaling techniques. We find that the pattern of asymptotic scaling violation is essentially the same as the one observed with conventional, not improved action...

Establishing the order of the deconfinement phase transition for the SU(4) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature is important for understanding of the physics of the phase transition to quark-gluon plasma. Employing a modified action to avoid spurious transitions, the theory was simulated on lattices of different sizes. A first order deconfinement transition with large latent heat was esta...
متن کاملDeconfinement inYang-Mills: a conjecture for a general gauge Lie group G
Svetitsky and Yaffe have argued that — if the deconfinement phase transition of a (d+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory with gauge group G is second order — it should be in the universality class of a d-dimensional scalar model symmetric under the center C(G) of G. These arguments have been investigated numerically only considering Yang-Mills theory with gauge symmetry in the G = SU(N) branch, wh...
