The transition from strong coupling to weak coupling in the SU(2) lattice gauge theory

The effects of modifications in the action for SU(2) lattice gauge theories are investigated by Monte Carlo computations. We find that Manton's action and a generalization of Villain's U(1) action lead to earlier approaches to scaling and evaluate the relevant parameters. We also find evid...

Description
Summary:The effects of modifications in the action for SU(2) lattice gauge theories are investigated by Monte Carlo computations. We find that Manton's action and a generalization of Villain's U(1) action lead to earlier approaches to scaling and evaluate the relevant parameters. We also find evidence of a higher-order phase transition with Manton's action.
