摘要
The deconfinement transition in SU(4) lattice gauge theory is investigated on A(s)(3) x N-t lattices for N-s = 8-16 and N-t = 4-8 using a modified Wilson action which is expected to be free of any bulk transitions. The susceptibility x(\L\)(max) where L is the order parameter for deconfinement, is found to increase linearly with spatial volume for N-t = 4, 5, and 6, indicating a first order deconfinement phase transition. The latent heat of the transition is estimated to be approximate to2/3 of the corresponding ideal gas energy density at T-C. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved.
