Abstract

For the Z₄ lattice gauge theory in four dimensions or the related spin system in two dimensions, we consider real space renormalization group transformations on the most general single plaquette or nearest neighbor action. The Migdal-Kadanoff recursion relations in differential form have several fixed points and predict a rich phase structure.

Symmetry aspects of finite-temperature confinement transitions
1986, Physics Reports
Analytical and numerical work on confinement phase transitions in finite-temperature Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories is reviewed. These transitions are order-disorder transitions and their critical properties (if any) can be understood from the standard theory of critical phenomena. Strong coupling, large-N, and non-perturbative lattice methods are discussed. The role of matter fields as symmetry-breaking perturbations is noted as important to the eventual unraveling of the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics.
