Percolation and Deconfinement in SU(2) Gauge Theory

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2015-06-25 v2

Abstract

We show that deconfinement in SU(2) gauge theory can be described by the percolation of site-bond clusters of like-sign Polyakov loops. In particular, we find that in 2+1 dimensions the percolation variables coincide with those of the 2-dimensional Ising model.
