Toward the application of large-$N$ deconfinement to SU(3) QCD
Abstract
It is generally known for gauge theory at finite temperature that phase transitions are manifested by taking the large- limit. Since the large- theory undergoes two thermodynamic phase transitions, a nontrivial intermediate phase can be realized in addition to the phases classified as the conventional confined and deconfined phases. In this talk, we discuss that a similar picture can be applied to QCD with . In particular, we analyze the gauge configurations of lattice QCD calculations involving dynamical quarks and show the results of an analysis of the deviation due to finite-temperature effects from the Haar randomness expected at zero temperature in gauge theory, using physical pictures suggested by the large- theory.
