Abstract

The finite-temperature deconfinement transition in pure SU(2) gauge theory is studied using finite-size analysis. The theory is formulated on a symmetric lattice with asymmetric couplings so the physical size of the spatial box can be changed continuously at a given physical temperature. Finite-size analysis based on the three-dimensional Ising model then permits the infinite-volume limit to be taken. The resulting critical temperature T_c scales according to asymptotic freedom and T_c/Λ_L = 44.0 ± 2.0.
