Equation of state for pure SU(3) gauge theory on anisotropic lattices

We present results for the equation of state for pure SU(3) gauge theory obtained on anisotropic lattices with the anisotropy $ξ\equiv a_s/a_t = 2$. The pressure and energy density are calculated on $N_t / ξ= 4, 5$ and 6 lattices with the integral method. They are found to satisfy the leading $1/N_t^2$ scaling from our coarsest lattice $N_t/ξ=4$. This enables us to carry out well controlled continuum extrapolations. We find that the pressure and energy density agree with those obtained using the isotropic plaquette action, but have smaller and more reliable errors.

Thermodynamics of SU(3) gauge theory on anisotropic lattices

Finite temperature SU(3) gauge theory is studied on anisotropic lattices using the standard plaquette gauge action. The equation of state is calculated on $16^{3} \times 8$, $20^{3} \times 10$ and $24^{3} \times 12$ lattices with the anisotropy $ξ\equiv a_s / a_t = 2$, where $a_s$ and $a_t$ are the spatial and temporal lattice spacings. Unlike the case of the isotropic lattice on which $N_t=4$ data deviate significantly from the leading scaling behavior, the pressure and energy density on an anisotropic lattice are found to satisfy well the leading $1/N_t^2$ scaling from our coarsest lattice, $N_t/ξ=4$. With three data points at $N_t/ξ=4$, 5 and 6, we perform a well controlled continuum extrapolation of the equation of state. Our results in the continuum limit agree with a previous result from isotropic lattices using the same action, but have smaller and more reliable errors.

Equation of state in finite-temperature QCD with two flavors of improved Wilson quarks

We present results of a first study of equation of state in finite-temperature QCD with two flavors of Wilson-type quarks. Simulations are made on lattices with temporal size $N_t=4$ and 6, using an RG-improved action for the gluon sector and a meanfield-improved clover action for the quark sector. The lines of constant physics corresponding to fixed values of the ratio $m_{\rm PS}/m_{\rm V}$ of the pseudo-scalar to vector meson masses at zero temperature are determined, and the beta functions which describe the renormalization-group flow along these lines are calculated. Using these results, the energy density and the pressure are calculated as functions of temperature along the lines of constant physics in the range $m_{\rm PS}/m_{\rm V} = 0.65$--0.95. The quark mass dependence in the equation of state is found to be small for $m_{\rm PS}/m_{\rm V} \simlt 0.8$. Comparison of results for $N_t=4$ and $N_t=6$ lattices show significant scaling violation present in the $N_t=4$ results. At high temperatures the results for $N_t=6$ are quite close to the continuum Stefan-Boltzmann limit, suggesting the possibility of a precise continuum extrapolation of thermodynamic quantities from simulations at $N_t\simgt 6$.

Phase structure and critical temperature of two-flavor QCD with a renormalization group improved gauge action and clover improved Wilson quark action

We study the finite-temperature phase structure and the transition temperature of QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks on a lattice with the temporal size $N_t=4$, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action improved by the clover term. The region of a parity-broken phase is identified, and the finite-temperature transition line is located on a two-dimensional parameter space of the coupling ($β=6/g^2$) and hopping parameter $K$. Near the chiral transition point, defined as the crossing point of the critical line of the vanishing pion mass and the line of finite-temperature transition, the system exhibits behavior well described by the scaling exponents of the three-dimensional O(4) spin model. This indicates a second-order chiral transition in the continuum limit. The transition temperature in the chiral limit is estimated to be $T_c = 171(4)$ MeV.

Quenched charmonium spectrum on anisotropic lattices

We present the results of quenched charmonium spectrum for S- and P-states, obtained by a relativistic heavy quark method on anisotropic lattices. Simulations are carried out using the standard plaquette gauge action and a meanfield-improved clover quark action at $a_t^{-1} = 3$--6 GeV with the renormalized anisotropy fixed to $ξ\equiv a_s/a_t =3$. We study the scaling of our fine and hyperfine mass splittings, and compare with previous results.

Equation of state for pure SU(3) gauge theory with renormalization group improved action

A lattice study of the equation of state for pure SU(3) gauge theory using a renormalization-group (RG) improved action is presented. The energy density and pressure are calculated on a $16^3\times 4$ and a $32^3\times 8$ lattice employing the integral method. Extrapolating the results to the continuum limit, we find the energy density and pressure to be in good agreement with those obtained with the standard plaquette action within the error of 3-4%.

Equation of state in finite-temperature QCD with improved Wilson quarks

We study finite-temperature phase transition and equation of state for two-flavor QCD at $N_t=4$ using an RG-improved gauge action and a meanfield-improved clover quark action. The pressure is computed using the integral method. The O(4) scaling of chiral order parameter is also examined.
