A reanalysis of Finite Temperature SU(N) Gauge Theory

Abstract

We revise the $SU(N_c)$, $N_c=3,4,6$, lattice data on pure gauge theories at finite temperature by means of a quasi-particle approach. In particular we focus on the relation between the quasi-particle effective mass and the order of the deconfinement transition, the scaling of the interaction measure with $N_c^2-1$, the role of gluon condensate, the screening mass.
