Large-N quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
It is pointed out that at N..-->..infinity, for finite temperature, the Schwinger-Dyson equations imply that below the deconfining phase transition the Wilson loops are independent of the temperature. This suggests a first-order deconfinement phase transition.
