Novel first-order phase transition and critical points in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory with spatial compactification
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We investigate the thermodynamics and phase structure of SU(3) Yang-Mills
theory on 𝕋^2×ℝ^2 in Euclidean spacetime in an
effective-model approach. The model incorporates two Polyakov loops along two
compactified directions as dynamical variables, and is constructed to reproduce
thermodynamics on 𝕋^2×ℝ^2 measured on the lattice. The
model analysis indicates the existence of a novel first-order phase transition
on 𝕋^2×ℝ^2 in the deconfined phase, which terminates
at critical points that should belong to the two-dimensional Z_2 universality
class. We argue that the interplay of the Polyakov loops induced by their cross
term in the Polyakov-loop potential is responsible for the manifestation of the
first-order transition.
