[BOOK][B] Lattice gauge theories: an introduction

HJ Rothe - 2012 - library.oapen.org
This book provides a broad introduction to gauge field theories formulated on a space-time
lattice, and in particular of QCD. It serves as a textbook for advanced graduate students, and …

Phase transitions in quantum chromodynamics

H Meyer-Ortmanns - Reviews of Modern Physics, 1996 - APS
The current understanding of finite-temperature phase transitions in QCD is reviewed. A
critical discussion of refined phase-transition criteria in numerical lattice simulations and of …

Quark-gluon plasma as a condensate of Wilson lines

RD Pisarski - Physical Review D, 2000 - APS
Effective theories for the thermal Wilson line are constructed in an SU (N) gauge theory at
nonzero temperature. I propose that the order of the deconfining phase transition for Z (N) …

Lattice QCD at finite isospin density at zero and finite temperature

JB Kogut, DK Sinclair - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We simulate lattice QCD with dynamical u and d quarks at finite chemical potential, μ I, for
the third component of isospin (I 3) at both zero and at finite temperature. At zero …

Confinement versus chiral symmetry

A Mocsy, F Sannino, K Tuominen - Physical review letters, 2004 - APS
We construct an effective Lagrangian which illustrates why color deconfines when chiral
symmetry is restored in hot gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation …

Introduction to multicanonical Monte Carlo simulations

BA Berg - arxiv preprint cond-mat/9909236, 1999 - arxiv.org
Monte Carlo simulation with {\it a-priori} unknown weights have attracted recent attention
and progress has been made in understanding (i) the technical feasibility of such …

Finite-size scaling study of the deconfining phase transition in pure SU (3) lattice gauge theory

M Fukugita, M Okawa, A Ukawa - Nuclear Physics B, 1990 - Elsevier
Finite-size scaling behavior is studied for the deconfining phase transition of the pure SU (3)
gauge theory on a lattice with size varying from 8 3× 4 to 28 3× 4. It is shown that the critical …

Order of the deconfining phase transition in SU (3) lattice gauge theory

M Fukugita, M Okawa, A Ukawa - Physical Review Letters, 1989 - APS
The nature of the finite-temperature deconfining phase transition is studied by Monte Carlo
simulation on lattices ranging over 8 3× 4 to 36 3× 4. The spatial-volume dependence of the …

Two-point functions for Polyakov loops near

A Dumitru, RD Pisarski - Physical Review D, 2002 - APS
We discuss the behavior of two point functions for Polyakov loops in an SU (3) gauge theory
about the critical temperature T c. From a Z (3) model, in mean field theory we obtain a …
