A deconstructed finite temperature gauge theory has the Euclidean time direction kept discrete and finite. The ultraviolet behavior is that of one dimension less than at zero temperature. One can add to the action a gauge invariant term…

We examine the finite-temperature deconfinement phase transition of (2+1)-dimensional SU(5) Yang-Mills theory via non-perturbative lattice simulations. Unsurprisingly, we find that the transition is of first order, however it appears to be…
