Deconfinement from Thermal Tensor Networks: Universal CFT signature in (2+1)-dimensional ${\mathbb{Z}}_N$ lattice gauge theory

Adwait Naravane, Yuto Sugimoto, Shinichiro Akiyama +2

Tensor networks offer a sign-problem-free approach to study lattice gauge theories, but extracting precise universal information associated with the deconfinement transition remain…
