Using a variant of the IMCRG method of Gupta and Cordery, we explicitly compute majority rule block spin effective actions for the signs of the Polyakov loops in 4D SU(2) finite temperature lattice gauge theories. To the best of our…

Critical properties of the compact three-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theory are explored at finite temperatures on an asymmetric lattice. For vanishing value of the spatial gauge coupling one obtains an effective two-dimensional spin…

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…

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…

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…

Using the example of the SU(2) gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions we consider the construction of a 3-dimensional effective model in terms of Polyakov loops. We demonstrate the application of an equilibrium self-consistency condition to the…

We show that universality arguments, namely the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture, allow one to obtain exact results on the critical behavior of 3D SU(2) gauge theory at the finite temperature deconfinement transition,through a mapping into the 2D…

Effective theories are helpful tools to gain an intuitive insight into phenomena governed by complex laws. In this work we show by means of Monte Carlo simulations that Z(2) spin models with only spin-spin interactions approximate rather…

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…

Deconfinement and screening of higher-representation sources in finite-temperature $SU(2)$ lattice gauge theory is investigated by both analytical and numerical means. The effective Polyakov-line action at strong coupling is simulated by an…

A recently introduced method for determining the critical indices of the deconfinement transition in gauge theories, already tested for the case of 3D SU(3) pure gauge theory, is applied here to 4D SU(2) pure gauge theory. The method is…

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 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,…

We attempt the numerical construction of an effective action in three dimensions for Ising spins which represent the Wilson lines in the four-dimensional SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperature. For each configuration of the gauge theory,…

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…

Lattice Yang-Mills theories at finite temperature can be mapped onto effective 3d spin systems, thus facilitating their numerical investigation. Using strong-coupling expansions we derive effective actions for Polyakov loops in the $SU(2)$…

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…

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,…

To find a perfect lattice action in terms of monopole action on the dual lattice, we performed simulations of a monopole effective action obtained numerically from vacuum configurations in SU(2) QCD. Although the Polyakov loop behavior near…

We propose a two-step procedure to study the order of phase transitions at finite temperature in electroweak theory and in simplified models thereof. In a first step a coarse grained free energy is computed by perturbative methods. It is…
