$\theta$ dependence in trace deformed $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory: a lattice study

Claudio Bonati, Marco Cardinali, Massimo D'Elia

In this paper we investigate, by means of numerical lattice simulations, the topological properties of the trace deformed $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory defined on $S_1\times\mathbb{R}^…
