TLDR
In this paper, the deconfinement phase transition of SU (2) Yang-Mills theory is first order in 3+1 dimensions, while in 2 + 1 dimensions stronger fluctuations induce a second order transition.About:

Thermodynamics of the QCD Plasma and the Large-N Limit
TL;DR: The results for SU(N) Yang-Mills theories with N=3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 colors show a very mild dependence on N, supporting the idea that the QCD plasma could be described by models based on the large-N limit.

Fermion interactions and universal behavior in strongly interacting theories
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an overview of universal long-range behavior in various theories, ranging from nonrelativistic many-body problems to relativistic gauge theories, with an emphasis on scaling behavior of physical observables close to quantum phase transitions (i.e. phase transitions at zero temperature) as well as thermal phase transitions.

Heavy quarkonia in quark-gluon plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, the binding energies and wave functions of heavy quarkonia in a quark-gluon plasma were derived by minimizing the grand potential in a simplified schematic model, and it was shown that the proper color-singlet $Q\text{\ensuremath{-}}\overline{Q}$ potential can be obtained from the total internal energy by subtracting the gluon internal energy contributions.

Fermion Interactions and Universal Behavior in Strongly Interacting Theories
TL;DR: In this article, a cross-fertilization is proposed to provide an ab-initio description of hadronization, condensation, and bound state formation in strongly interacting theories.

Gauge bosons at zero and finite temperature
TL;DR: In this article, a generalization of the perturbative Landau gauge has been proposed for non-Abelian Yang-Mills theories and its implementation is discussed for two example methods, lattice gauge theory and the quantum equations of motion.

The Potts model
TL;DR: In this paper, a tutorial review on the Potts model is presented aimed at bringing out the essential and important properties of the standard Potts models, focusing on exact and rigorous results, but other aspects of the problem are also described to achieve a unified perspective.

On the Phase Transition Towards Permanent Quark Confinement
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that the topological operators and the gauge field operators form a closed algebra from which it is deduced that this system can be in one of the four different phases: (i) spontaneous breakdown via an explicit or composite Higgs field, (ii) no Higgs fields but permanent confinement of gauge quantum numbers, (iii) Higgs effect and still confinement, presumably only if there is an unbroken subgroup, and (iv) an intermediate phase (critical point?) with massless particles.

A property of electric and magnetic flux in non-Abelian gauge theories
TL;DR: In this paper, pure non-Abelian gauge models with gauge group SU( N ) are considered in a box with periodic boundary conditions at various temperatures β − 1. Electric and magnetic flux are defined in a gauge-invariant way.
