Abstract

This is a progress report on the calculation of the effective potential for the Polyakov loop in SU(N)SU(N) pure gauge theory beyond two-loop order. We introduce a new approach using the Poisson resummation formula to compute sum-integrals with the holonomy. We show partial results for the free energy at order g3g^3 and g4g^4.
