The deconfinement transition in SU(N) gauge theories

We investigate the properties of the deconfinement transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories. We find that it is a 'normal' first order transition in both cases, from which we conclude that the transition is first order in the N → ∞ limit. Comparing our preliminary estimates of the cont...
