Abstract

The energy density and the pressure of SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperature are studied by direct lattice measurements of the renormalized energy-momentum tensor obtained by the gradient flow. Numerical analyses are carried out with -- corresponding to the lattice spacing --. The spatial (temporal) sizes are chosen to be , , (, , , , ) with the aspect ratio, . Double extrapolation, (the continuum limit) followed by (the zero flow-time limit), is taken using the numerical data. Above the critical temperature, the thermodynamic quantities are obtained with a few percent precision including statistical and systematic errors. The results are in good agreement with previous high-precision data obtained by using the integral method.
