The Spatial String Tension and Dimensional Reduction in QCD
M. Cheng, S. Datta, J. van der Heide +12
We calculate the spatial string tension in (2+1) flavor QCD with physical strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses using lattices with temporal extent N_tau=4,6 an…

The deconfining phase transition in D=2+1 SU(N) gauge theories
Jack Liddle, Michael Teper
We study the deconfining transition of SU(N) gauge theories in 2+1 dimensions for N ranging between N=2 and N=8. We confirm that the transition is second order for N<4 and first or…
