Finite temperature phase transition , adjoint Polyakov loop and topology in SU ( 2 ) LGT ∗

چکیده
We investigate the phase structure of pure SU(2) LGT at finite temperature in the mixed fundamental and adjoint representation modified with a Z2 monopole chemical potential. The decoupling of the finite temperature phase transition from unphysical zero temperature bulk phase transitions is analyzed with special emphasis on the continuum limit. The possible relation of the adjoint Polyakov loop to an order parameter for the finite temperature phase transition and to the topological structure of the theory is discussed.

Finite Temperature Phase Transition in Su(2) Lattice Gauge Theory with Extended Action
We study the three dimensional fundamental-adjoint SU(2) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature by Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the finite temperature deconfinement phase transition line joins the first order bulk phase transition line at its endpoint. Moreover, across the bulk transition line, the Polyakov loop undergoes a discontinuous jump implying the existence of both confinin...
متن کاملNon-universality of string tension ratios and gluon confinement at finite temperature
We show that the Casimir scaling of string tensions observed in lattice simulations is naturally related to the smallness of the adjoint Polyakov loop in the confined phase. Particles in zero N-ality representations of SU(N) can be used to modify simultaneously the adjoint Polyakov loop expectation value, string tension ratios, and mixing between representations of the same N-ality. This leads ...

The phase diagram of SO(3) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature is investigated by Monte Carlo techniques with a view i) to understand the relationship between the deconfinement phase transitions in the SU(2) and SO(3) lattice gauge theories and ii) to resolve the current ambiguity of the nature of the high temperature phases of the latter.
