Deconfining Phase Transition as a Matrix Model of Renormalized Polyakov Loops
Adrian Dumitru, Yoshitaka Hatta, Jonathan Lenaghan +2
We discuss how to extract renormalized from bare Polyakov loops in SU(N) lattice gauge theories at nonzero temperature in four spacetime dimensions. Single loops in an irreducible…
Dashen's Phenomenon in Gauge Theories with Spontaneously Broken Chiral Symmetries
G. Akemann, J. T. Lenaghan, K. Splittorff
We examine Dashen's phenomenon in the Leutwyler--Smilga regime of QCD with any number of colors and quarks in either the fundamental or adjoint representations of the gauge group.…
Mesoscopic QCD and the Theta Vacua
Jonathan Lenaghan, Thomas Wilke
The partition function of QCD is analyzed for an arbitrary number of flavors, N_f, and arbitrary quark masses including the contributions from all topological sectors in the Leutwy…
