Finite-temperature Sp(4) Yang-Mills theory: towards the continuum
Fabian Zierler, Ed Bennett, Biagio Lucini +4
We present numerical results obtained in a finite-temperature study of the Sp(4) Yang-Mills theory on the lattice. We study its first-order confinement/deconfinement phase transiti…
Finite-temperature Yang-Mills theories with the density of states method: towards the continuum limit
Ed Bennett, Biagio Lucini, David Mason +4
A first-order, confinement/deconfinement phase transition appears in the finite temperature behavior of many non-Abelian gauge theories. These theories play an important role in pr…
Updates on the density of states method in finite temperature symplectic gauge theories
David Mason, Ed Bennett, Biagio Lucini +4
First-order phase transitions in the early universe have rich phenomenological implications, such as the production of a potentially detectable signal of stochastic relic backgroun…
The density of states method for symplectic gauge theories at finite temperature
Ed Bennett, Biagio Lucini, David Mason +3
We study the finite-temperature behaviour of the Yang-Mills lattice theory in four dimensions, by applying the Logarithmic Linear Relaxation (LLR) algorithm. We demonstrate…
