Analyticity in theta on the lattice and the large volume limit of the topological susceptibility
B. Alles, M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo
Non-analyticity of QCD with a θterm at θ=0 may signal a spontaneous breaking of both parity and time reversal invariance. We address this issue by investigating the large volume li…
Analyticity in theta and infinite volume limit of the topological susceptibility in SU(3) gauge theory
B. Alles, M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo
The large volume behaviour of the topological susceptibility in SU(3) gauge theory is investigated on the lattice to establish an upper limit on the parity violating terms.
On the nature and order of the deconfining transition in QCD
A. Di Giacomo
The determination of the parameters of the deconfining transition in N_f=2 QCD is discussed, and its relevance to the understanding of the mechanism of color confinement.
On the order of the deconfining transition in N_f=2 QCD
M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo, C. Pica
A careful study is made on the lattice of the phase diagram of QCD with two staggered flavors, to investigate the order of the chiral transition of N_f=2 QCD. The specific heat and…
Chiral transition and deconfinement in N_f = 2 QCD
M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo, B. Lucini +2
The transition is studied by means of a disorder parameter detecting condensation of magnetic monopoles in the vacuum. The deconfining transition is found to coincide with the chir…
The order of the chiral transition in N_f=2 QCD
M. D'Elia, A. Di Giacomo, C. Pica
A strategy is developed to investigate the order of the transition using finite size scaling and its relation to color confinement. An in-depth numerical investigation has been per…
