We describe the "relative weights" method used to compute the effective Polyakov line action corresponding to a given lattice gauge theory, and present some results that have been obtained so far. The main motivation is the sign problem,…
Motivated by the sign problem, we calculate the effective Polyakov line action corresponding to certain SU(3) lattice gauge theories on a ${16^3 \times 6}$ lattice via the "relative weights" method introduced in our previous articles. The…
We apply the relative weights method to extract an effective Polyakov line action, at finite chemical potential, from an underlying $SU(3)$ lattice gauge theory with dynamical fermions. The center-symmetry breaking terms in the effective…
We apply the relative weights method (arXiv:1209.5697) to determine the effective Polyakov line action for SU(2) lattice gauge theory in the confined phase, at lattice coupling beta=2.2 and N_t=4 lattice spacings in the time direction. The…
I outline recent progress in the relative weights approach to deriving effective Polyakov line actions from an underlying lattice gauge theory, and compare mean field and complex Langevin methods for solving such theories at finite chemical…
We present lattice simulations of a center symmetric dimensionally reduced effective field theory for SU(2) Yang Mills which employ thermal Wilson lines and three-dimensional magnetic fields as fundamental degrees of freedom. The action is…
We extract an effective Polyakov line action from an underlying SU(3) lattice gauge theory with dynamical fermions via the relative weights method. The center-symmetry breaking terms in the effective theory are fit to a form suggested by…
We formulate a method for computing the effective Lagrangian of the Polyakov line on the lattice. Using mean field approximation we calculate the effective potential for high temperatures. The result agrees with recent lattice simulations.…
We integrate out fast varying quantum fluctuations around static A_4 and A_i fields for the SU(N) gauge group. By assuming that the gluon fields are slowly varying but allowing for an arbitrary amplitude of A_4 we obtain two variants of the…
We derive effective actions for SU(2) Polyakov loops using inverse Monte Carlo techniques. In a first approach, we determine the effective couplings by requiring that the effective ensemble reproduces the single-site distribution of the…
We compute the effective action of the Polyakov loop in SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills theory using a previously developed covariant variational approach. The formalism is extended to background gauge and it is shown how to relate the low order…
We calculate the effective Polyakov line action corresponding to SU(2) lattice gauge theory on a 16^3 X 4 lattice via the "relative weights" method. We consider a variety of lattice couplings, ranging from beta=1.2 in the strong-coupling…
We calculate the Polyakov loop susceptibilities in the SU(3) lattice gauge theory using the Symanzik improved gauge action on different-sized lattices. The longitudinal and transverse fluctu- ations of the Polyakov loop, as well as, that of…
A three-dimensional effective theory of Polyakov loops has recently been derived from Wilson's Yang-Mills lattice action by means of a strong coupling expansion. It is valid in the confined phase up to the deconfinement phase transition,…
We consider a lattice gauge theory at finite temperature in ($d$+1) dimensions with the Wilson action and different couplings $\beta_t$ and $\beta_s$ for timelike and spacelike plaquettes. By using the character expansion and…
We compare SU(2) Polyakov loop models with different effective actions with data from full two-color QCD simulations around and above the critical temperature. We then apply the effective theories at finite temperature and density to…
We derive effective Polyakov line actions for SU(3) gauge theories with staggered dynamical fermions, for a small sample of lattice couplings, lattice actions, and lattice extensions in the time direction. The derivation is via the method…
The effective action of the SU(N) Polyakov loop model in the strong coupling region and in the static limit for the quark determinant can be mapped onto the Ising model in any dimensions, with the Ising variables attached on the links of…
Effective Polyakov loop theories are a useful tool for an investigation of pure Yang-Mills theory and full QCD. A systematic derivation of the effective action can be done in a spatial strong coupling expansion. Quite accurate predictions…
We present results from magnetic monopoles in $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. The lattices are $16^{3}\times N_{t}$, for $N_{t}=4,6,8,12$, at $\beta=2.5115$. Quantities discussed are: the spacial string tension, Polyakov…
