• Sp(N): increase the size of the group keeping the center (2) fixed generalization of SU(2)=Sp(1); pseudo-real representation
• (3+1)-d: only Sp(1)=SU(2) YM theory has a 2nd order deconfinement p.t.
What about confinement in YM theory with a gauge group with trivial center?

Conclusions• Confinement is difficult problem: not only SU(N) but all Lie groups!
• Conjecture: the size of the group determines the order of the deconfinement p.t.
The center is relevant only if the transition is 2nd order: G(2)14 YM 1st order
(3+1)-d only Sp(1)=SU(2)3 YM has a 2nd order deconfinement p.t.
SU(3)8 YM weak 1st order, no known universality class available
YM with all other gauge groups have 1st order
(2+1)-d SU(2)3, SU(3)8, Sp(2)10 YM has a 2nd order deconfinement p.t.,
SU(4)15 YM: weak 1st or 2nd ?, G(2)14 YM: not known
YM with all other gauge groups have 1st order
Outlook
• Finite temperature behaviour of G(2) YM in (2+1)-d
• Static quark-quark potential and string breaking
• Study of the Fredenhagen-Marcu order parameter

• Diagonal correlation function in 2 dimensions
Lattice size L = 64; couplings = 0.42, 0.44, 0.46
• We have also an improved estimator for the susceptibility

• Worm formulation
Instead of using clusters, we can – with the same breakups –
simply move the two violations. This technique is called the
worm algorithm

Conclusions• Using the quantum formulation of the Ising model a new,
efficient algorithm can be constructed
• We have an improved estimator for the susceptibility
• We can measure n-point correlation functions over a large number of orders of magnitudes
• We would like to apply this approach to other theories, possibly to gauge theories. (bold outlook!)
