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...

Continuum smearing was introduced in section 4.1 of JHEP03, 064 (2006) as a meaningful continuum analogue of the well known set of lattice techniques by the same name. Here we apply continuous smearing in continuous space-time to Wilson loops in order to clarify what it does in the context of field theory and also in the context of the loop calculus of the Makeenko-Migdal equation. c Copyright ...
