Large $N$ reduction with the Twisted Eguchi-Kawai model

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-03-17 v1

Abstract

We examine the breaking of ZNZ_N symmetry recently reported for the Twisted Eguchi-Kawai model (TEK). We analyse the origin of this behaviour and propose simple modifications of twist and lattice action that could avoid the problem. Our results show no sign of symmetry breaking and allow us to obtain values of the large NN infinite volume string tension in agreement with extrapolations from results based upon straightforward methods.
