Phase transitions in U(N) lattice gauge theory in four dimensions
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
Monte Carlo methods are used to study pure U(N), N = 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, gauge fields in four space-time dimensions. Using Wilson's form of the action, first-order phase transitions are clearly seen at ..beta../sub c/ = 3.30, 6.88, 12.14, 18.8, and 27.0 for U(2), U(3), U(4), U(5), and U(6), respectively.
