$\theta$ dependence of $T_c$ in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory

Norikazu Yamada, Masahito Yamazaki, Ryuichiro Kitano

We present an exploratory study to determine the confinement-deconfinement transition temperature at finite $\theta$, $T_c(\theta )$, for the 4d \SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory. Lattice numeric…
