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 …

We present a realization of the dual superconductor hypothesis of confinement in SU (2)
gauge theory. We construct an approximate effective action for a class of't Hooft-Polyakov …

A finite-size test was carried out for the finite-temperature chiral phase transition in QCD for
flavor number N f= 4 and 2 on a lattice with four time slices using the Kogut-Susskind quark …

It is shown for SU (N) and U (1) gauge groups that periodic spatial boundary conditions, as
commonly used in lattice simulations, are not possible in the charged sectors of a local …

Using grand canonical ensemble formulation of a multi-particle statistical system, the
thermodynamical description of dual QCD based on magnetic symmetry has been …

1. INTRODUCTION The idea of using a discrete space-time lattice to regularize Euclidean
quantum field theories” opened the entire repertory of statistical physics for the analysis of …

We have performed a systematic study of the phase transition in the pure compact U (1)
lattice gauge theory in the extended coupling parameter space (β, γ) on toroidal and …

Based on the topological structure of gauge theory, an effective dual version of QCD has
been reviewed and analyzed for the phase structure and color confining properties of QCD …

Recent developments in the lattice studies of QCD thermodynamics are surveyed. The
question of the order of the deconfining phase transition in the pure gauge sector is …
