Walls, anomalies, and deconfinement in quantum antiferromagnets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the Abelian-Higgs model with instanton-monopole defects and showed that the domain wall carries a 't Hooft anomaly in this case.

Anomaly constraints on deconfinement and chiral phase transition

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermal phase transition of SU(Nc) gauge theories by using the T Hooft anomaly involving the center symmetry and chiral symmetry, and showed that the chiral symmetrization restoration in terms of the standard Landau-Ginzburg effective action is impossible at a temperature lower than that of deconfinement.

Anti-de Sitter Space, Thermal Phase Transition, And Confinement in Gauge Theories

TL;DR: The correspondence between supergravity and string theory on AdS space and boundary conformal eld theory relates the thermodynamics of N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions to the thermodynamic properties of Schwarzschild black holes in Anti-de Sitter space as mentioned in this paper.

Thermodynamics of SU(3) lattice gauge theory

The Alignment of the Vacuum in Theories of Technicolor

TL;DR: In this paper, a class of models of dynamical weak-interaction symmetry breaking suggested by the work of Weinberg and Susskind is studied, and simple relations determine the alignment of weakly gauged subgroups and the masses of pseudo-Goldstone bosons.

Hybrid Molecular Dynamics Algorithms for the Numerical Simulation of Quantum Chromodynamics

TL;DR: Two algorithms for the numerical simulation of SU(3) lattice gauge theory with dynamical quarks are discussed, based on the hybrid stochastic method of Duane and Kogut, which allow the simulation of arbitrary numbers of quarks.
