External Field Dependence of Deconfinement Temperature in SU(3)
Abstract
Description
We study vacuum dynamics of SU(3) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature. Using the lattice Schrödinger functional, SU(3) vacuum is probed by means of an external constant Abelian chromomagnetic field. Our preliminary numerical data suggest that, by increasing the strength of the applied external field, deconfinement temperature decreases towards zero. This means that strong enough Abelian chromomagnetic fields destroy confinement of color.
