Abstract
We determine the critical couplings for the deconfinement phase transition in \$SU(2)\$ gauge theory on \$N\_\textbackslashtau \textbackslashtimes N\_\textbackslashsigmaˆ3\$ lattices with \$N\_\textbackslashtau = 8\$ and 16 and \$N\_\textbackslashsigma\$ varying between 16 and 48. A comparison with string tension data shows scaling of the ratio \$T\_c / \textbackslashsqrt\\textbackslashsigma\\$ in the entire coupling regime \$\textbackslashbeta =2.30-2.75\$, while the individual quantities still exhibit large scaling violations. We find \$T\_c / \textbackslashsqrt\\textbackslashsigma\=0.69(2)\$. We also discuss in detail the extrapolation of \$T\_c / Lambda\_\\textbackslashrm\\textbackslashbar\M\ \textbackslashbar\S\\\\$ and \$\textbackslashsqrt\\textbackslashsigma\ / Lambda\_\\textbackslashrm\\textbackslashbar\M\\textbackslashbar\S\\\\$ to the continuum limit. Our result, which is consistent with the above ratio, is \$T\_c / Lambda\_\\textbackslashrm\\textbackslashbar\M\\textbackslashbar\S\\\ = 1.23(11)\$ and \$\textbackslashsqrt\\textbackslashsigma\ / Lambda\_\\textbackslashrm\\textbackslashbar\M\\textbackslashbar\S\\\ = 1.79(12)\$. We also comment upon corresponding results for \$SU(3)\$ gauge theory and four flavour QCD.
