Evidence for a first-order deconfinement transition in large-N gauge theory

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
We study N = infinity lattice gauge theory at finite temperature by Monte Carlo methods using an asymmetric coupling version of the twisted Equchi-Kawai model. The data favor a first-order deconfining transition, and are consistent with asymptotic freedom for N = 64 and 81. The deconfinement temperature in physical units is close to the value for N = 3.
