- Abstract:
-
We extend our earlier investigation of the finite temperature deconfinement transition in SU(N) gauge theories, with the emphasis on what happens as N → ∞. We calculate the latent heat, Lh, in the continuum limit, and find the expected behaviour, Lh ∝ N2, at large N. We confirm that the phase transition, which is second order for SU(2) and weakly first order for SU(3), becomes robustly first order for N ≥ 4 and strengthens as N increases. As an aside, we explain why the SU(2) specific heat sh...
