The Kazakov-Migdal Model as a High Temperature Lattice Gauge Theory
arXiv:hep-th/9212074 · doi:10.1016/0370-2693(93)90639-Y
Abstract
We show that the Kazakov-Migdal (K-M) induced gauge model in dimensions describes the high temperature limit of ordinary lattice gauge theories in dimensions. The matter fields are related to the Polyakov loops, while the spatial gauge variables become the gauge fields of the K-M model. This interpretation of the K-M model is in agreement with some recent results in high temperature lattice QCD.
