SU(N) gauge theories near T-c
We study the deconfinement phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories for N=2,3,4,6,8. The transition is first order for N ≥ 3, with the strength increasing as N increases. We extrapolate Tc/σ to the continuum limit for each N, and observe a rapid approach to the large N limit. As N increases the phas...
