Deconfinement transition in 2+1-dimensional SU(4) lattice gauge theory

Abstract

A missing piece is added to the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture. The spin model in the same universality class as the (2+1)d SU(4) theory, the 2d Ashkin-Teller model, has a line of continuously varying critical exponents. The exponents measured in the gauge theory correspond best to the Potts point on the Ashkin-Teller line.
