   Phase structure of (2+1)d strongly coupled lattice gauge theories

   Costas G. Strouthos🇺🇸

   We study the chiral phase transition in (2+1)d strongly coupled U(N) lattice gauge theories with staggered fermions. We show with high precision simulations performed directly in the chiral limit that these models undergo a Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. We also show that this universality class is unaffected even in the large N limit.

   Confinement versus Chiral Symmetry

   Agnes Mocsy🇩🇰 · Francesco Sannino🇸🇪 · Kimmo Tuominen (NBI & NORDITA)🇸🇪

   We construct an effective Lagrangian which illustrates why color deconfines when chiral symmetry is restored in hot gauge theories with quarks in the fundamental representation. For quarks in the adjoint representation we show that while deconfinement and the chiral transition do not need to coincide, entanglement between them is still present. Extension to the chemical potential driven transition is discussed.
