B. Lucini, M. Teper, U. Wenger (Oxford University)
TL;DR
This paper investigates the deconfining phase transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories, focusing on critical couplings, latent heat, transition order, and the large N limit of the critical temperature.
Contribution
It provides new calculations of critical couplings, latent heat, and the critical temperature in the large N limit, avoiding bulk phase transition influences.
Findings
Critical couplings determined for SU(4) and SU(6)
Latent heat of the phase transition measured
Critical temperature in units of string tension analyzed at large N
Abstract
We report on our ongoing investigation of the deconfining phase transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories. We calculate the critical couplings while taking care to avoid the influence of a nearby bulk phase transition. We determine the latent heat of the phase transition and investigate the order and the strength of the transition at large N. We also report on our determination of the critical temperature expressed in units of the string tension in the large N limit.
