Universal Aspects of Deconfinement in 2+1 Dimensions
Lorenz von Smekal, Sam R Edwards, Nils Strodthoff
The 2+1 dimensional pure SU(N) gauge theories with N <= 4 are candidates for applying the powerful tools of scaling and universality to their deconfinement transitions at finite te…
SU(3) Deconfinement in (2+1)d from Twisted Boundary Conditions and Self-Duality
Nils Strodthoff, Sam R. Edwards, Lorenz von Smekal
We study the pure SU(3) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions on the lattice using 't Hooft's twisted boundary conditions to force non-vanishing center flux through the finite volume. In…
Universal Aspects of Deconfinement: Interfaces, Flux Tubes and Self-Duality in 2+1 Dimensions
Lorenz von Smekal, Sam R. Edwards, Nils Strodthoff
We study center vortex free energies and 't Hooft's electric fluxes on the lattice in 2+1 dimensions, where SU(2) for example, is in the universality class of the 2d Ising model. T…
