29 Sep 2014 | | Abstract: | We present a lattice study of the equation of state in Yang-Mills theory
based on the exceptional G(2) gauge group. As is well-known, at zero
temperature this theory shares many qualitative features with real-world QCD,
including the absence of colored states in the spectrum and dynamical string
breaking at large distances. In agreement with previous works, we show that at
finite temperature this theory features a first-order deconfining phase
transition, whose nature can be studied by a semi-classical computation. We
also show that the equilibrium thermodynamic observables in the deconfined
phase bear striking quantitative similarities with those found in SU(N) gauge
theories: in particular, these quantities exhibit nearly perfect
proportionality to the number of gluon degrees of freedom, and the trace
anomaly reveals a characteristic quadratic dependence on the temperature, also
observed in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories (both in four and in three spacetime
dimensions). We compare our lattice data with analytical predictions from
effective models, and discuss their implications for the deconfinement
mechanism and high-temperature properties of strongly interacting,
non-supersymmetric gauge theories. Our results give strong evidence for the
conjecture that the thermal deconfining transition is governed by a universal
mechanism, common to all simple gauge groups. | | Source: | arXiv, 1409.8305 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
