Abstract

We study the equation of state of pure SU(22) gauge theory using Monte Carlo simulations. The scale-setting of lattice parameters has been carried by using the gradient flow. We propose a reference scale t0t_0 for the SU(22) gauge theory satisfying t2Et=t0=0.1t^2 \langle E \rangle|_{t=t_0} =0.1, which is fixed by a natural scaling-down of the standard t0t_0-scale for the SU(33) case based on perturbative analyses. We also show the thermodynamic quantities as a function of T/TcT/T_c, which are derived by the energy-momentum tensor using the small flow-time expansion of the gradient flow.
