Sensitivity of the Polyakov loop to chiral symmetry restoration
David Anthony Clarke, Olaf Kaczmarek, Anirban Lahiri +1
In the heavy, static quark mass regime of QCD, the Polyakov loop is well known to be an order parameter of the deconfinement phase transition; however, the sensitivity of the Polya…

Sensitivity of the Polyakov loop and related observables to chiral symmetry restoration
David Anthony Clarke, Olaf Kaczmarek, Frithjof Karsch +2
While the Polyakov loop is an order parameter of the deconfinement transition in the heavy quark mass regime of QCD, its sensitivity to the deconfinement of light, dynamical quarks…

Scale Setting and Topological Observables in Pure SU(2) LGT
David Clarke
In this dissertation, we investigate the approach of pure SU(2) lattice gauge theory to its continuum limit using the deconfinement temperature, six gradient scales, and six coolin…
