abstract

We investigate, by means of numerical lattice simulations, the $\theta$-dependence of the critical deconfinement temperature of $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ gauge theories at large $N$: $T_c(\theta) = T_c(0)[1-R\theta^2+O(\theta^4)]$, with $R\sim O(1/N^2)$. We follow two different strategies to determine $R$, one based on the calculation of the latent heat of the transition and on the jump of the topological susceptibility at the $\theta=0$ critical point, the other relying on a direct probe of $T_c(\theta)$ by means of imaginary-$\theta$ Monte Carlo simulations. Our results show that $R$ follows the expected large-$N$ scaling.

  1. Domain Walls From Confining Bubbles: $SU(N_{c})$ Yang Mills at Finite $\theta$

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A nonzero theta angle weakens supercooling in SU(Nc) Yang-Mills confinement and makes any resulting domain-wall gravitational-wave signal invisible except under severe fine-tuning.

  2. Confinement in Holographic Theories at Finite Theta

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic 5D model shows confinement critical temperature falls quadratically with vacuum angle, matches lattice QCD, and allows time-dependent theta to trigger supercooling and altered gravitational-wave spectra.

  3. Numerical evidence for a CP broken deconfined phase at $\theta =\pi$ in 4D SU(2) Yang-Mills theory through simulations at imaginary $\theta$

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations at imaginary theta give evidence for a CP-broken deconfined phase at theta=pi in 4D SU(2) Yang-Mills, with T_CP close to T_dec(0) and T_dec(pi) below T_dec(0).
