Lattice simulation of a center symmetric three-dimensional effective theory for SU(2) Yang-Mills
arXiv:0810.1129 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.01.056
Abstract
We perform simulations of an effective theory of SU(2) Wilson lines in three dimensions. Our action includes a kinetic term, the one-loop perturbative potential for the Wilson line, a non-perturbative "fuzzy-bag" contribution and spatial gauge fields. We determine the phase diagram of the theory and confirm that, at moderately weak coupling, the non-perturbative term leads to eigenvalue repulsion in a finite region above the deconfining phase transition.
