Abstract
Deconfined regions in relativistic heavy ion collisions are limited to small volumes surrounded by a confined exterior. Here the geometry of a double layered torus is discussed, which allows for different temperatures in its two layers. This geometry enables one to approach the QCD continuum limit for small deconfined volumes with confined exteriors in a more realistic fashion than by using periodic boundary conditions. Preliminary data from a study for pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory support a substantial increase in a pseudo transition temperature.
