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…
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…
A novel view of the flavor-singlet spectrum from multi-flavor QCD on the lattice
Yasumichi Aoki, Tatsumi Aoyama, Ed Bennett +7
SU(3) gauge theories with increasing number of light fermions are the templates of strongly interacting sectors and studying their low-energy dynamics and spectrum is important, bo…
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…
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…
