THE FINITE-TEMPERATURE PHASE-TRANSITION OF SU(2) GAUGE-FIELDS IN 2+1 DIMENSIONS

We perform finite temperature simulations of SU (2) lattice gauge fields in two spatial dimensions. We calculate the correlation length and find that it appears to diverge at a critical temperature, indicating a second order phase transition. Our average value for the associated critical exponent is...
