New phases of finite temperature gauge theory from an extended action
Joyce C. Myers, Michael C. Ogilvie
We study the behavior of the order parameter, the phase diagram, and the thermodynamics of exotic phases of finite temperature gauge theory. Lattice simulations were performed in S…
Exploring Partially Confined Phases
Michael C. Ogilvie, Peter N. Meisinger, Joyce C. Myers
Phases of SU(N) gauge theories in which the global Z(N) symmetry breaks spontaneously to a subgroup Z(L) can be realized by adding appropriate Wilson line terms to the gauge action…
New Phases of SU(3) and SU(4) at Finite Temperature
Joyce C. Myers, Michael C. Ogilvie
The addition of an adjoint Polyakov loop term to the action of a pure gauge theory at finite temperature leads to new phases of SU(N) gauge theories. For SU(3), a new phase is foun…
PT-symmetric Models with O(N) Symmetry
Peter N. Meisinger, Michael C. Ogilvie
We construct PT-symmetric quantum mechanical models with an O(N)-symmetric interaction term of the form . Using functional integral methods, we find the equi…
PT-Symmetric Matrix Quantum Mechanics
Peter N. Meisinger, Michael C. Ogilvie
Recently developed methods for PT-symmetric models are applied to quantum-mechanical matrix models. We consider in detail the case of potentials of the form $V=-(g/N^{p/2-1})Tr(iM)…
