Finite temperature transition and string tensions in SU(4) Yang-Mills theory

Matt Wingate (OSU)

Abstract

SU(N) Yang-Mills theories provide insight into aspects of QCD and are interesting in their own right. Given some apparent odd features of the QCD phase transition, we undertook a lattice Monte Carlo study of finite temperature SU(4) gauge theory. In my talk I'll present results for the deconfinement transition and string tensions.
