Properties of the deconfining phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories
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 transi...
