The phase diagram of SO(3) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature is investigated by Monte Carlo techniques with a view i) to understand the relationship between the deconfinement phase transitions in the SU(2) and SO(3) lattice gauge…
We study the three dimensional fundamental-adjoint $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature by Monte Carlo simulations. We find that the finite temperature deconfinement phase transition line joins the first order bulk phase…
The SO(3) lattice gauge theory with a Villain form of action was investigated by Monte Carlo techniques on asymmetric lattices with Nt = 2 and 4, where Nt is the number of sites in the temporal extent. Unlike the results for higher Nt, only…
The Villain form of SO(3) lattice gauge theory is studied and compared to Wilson's SU(2) theory. The topological invariants in SO(3) which correspond to twisted boundary conditions in SU(2) are discussed and lattice observables are…
We study the thermal phase diagram of pure SU(3) gauge theory with fundamental and adjoint couplings. We improve previous estimates of the position of the bulk transition line and determine the thermal deconfinement transition lines for…
It is shown that $SO(3)$ lattice gauge theory on finite size lattices has metastable states related to the ground states of both the bulk transition and the finite temperature transition. The Polyakov line variable in the adjoint…
Using the geometry of a double-layered torus we investigate the deconfining phase transition of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory by Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations. In one layer, called "outside", the temperature is set below the…
We study the phase transition in the abelian lattice gauge theory using the Wilson-Polyakov line as the order parameter. The Wilson-Polyakov line remains very small at strong coupling and becomes non-zero at weak coupling, signalling a…
We study the three dimensional fundamental-adjoint $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory at non-zero temperatures by Monte Carlo simulations. On an $8^3 \times 2$ lattice, at $\beta_A = 1.1$, where $\beta_A$ is the adjoint coupling, we find no…
Gauge theories with matter fields in various representations play an important role in different branches of physics. Recently, it was proposed that several aspects of the interesting pseudogap phase of cuprate superconductors near optimal…
We study the thermal phase diagram of pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory with fundamental and adjoint couplings. We improve previous estimates of the position of the bulk transition line and determine the thermal deconfinement transition lines…
The deconfinement transition is studied close to the continuum limit of SO(3) lattice gauge theory. High barriers for tunnelling among different twist sectors causing loss of ergodicity for local update algorithms are circumvented by means…
The adjoint SU(2) lattice gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions with the Wilson plaquette action modified by a Z(2) monopole suppression term is reinvestigated with special emphasis on the existence of a finite-temperature phase transition…
We study the confining and deconfining phases of pure $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ lattice gauge theory with topological data analysis. This provides unique insights into long range correlations of field configurations across the…
We consider the SU(2) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature in (d+1) dimensions, with different couplings $\beta_t$ and $\beta_s$ for timelike and spacelike plaquettes. By using the character expansion of the Wilson action and…
We numerically investigate the phase structure of pure SO(3) LGT at zero and non-zero temperature in the presence of a Z2 blind monopole chemical potential. The physical meaning of the different phases, a possible symmetry breaking…
Using the finite size scaling theory, we re-examine the nature of the bulk phase transition in the fundamental-adjoint coupling plane of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory at $\beta_A = 1.25$ where previous finite size scaling investigations of…
We consider the SO(3) lattice gauge theory at weak coupling, in the Villain action. We exhibit an analytic path in coupling space showing the equivalence of the SO(3) theory with SU(2) summed over all twist sectors. This clarifies the…
We review some analytic results on the deconfinement transition in pure lattice gauge theories. In particular we discuss the relationship between the deconfinement transition in the $(d+1)$-dimensional $SU(2)$ model and the magnetization…
In lattice gauge theory (LGT) equilibrium simulations of QCD are usually performed with periodic boundary conditions (BCs). In contrast to that deconfined regions created in heavy ion collisions are bordered by the confined phase. Here we…
