Entropy of the SU(2) lattice gauge field

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The entropy of the SU(2) gauge field is computed for the lattice gauge theory with a pure adjoint action and for mixed fundamental and adjoint actions. In the calculation, the Monte Carlo method is used to sample a microcanonical ensemble, from which the derivative of the entropy is computed. The determination of the phase diagram from the entropy function is discussed.
