Effective Monopole Action at Finite Temperature in SU(2) Gluodynamics

Abstract

Effective monopole action at finite temperature in SU(2) gluodynamics is studied on anisotropic lattices. Using an inverse Monte-Carlo method and the blockspin transformation for space directions, we determine 4-dimensional effective monopole action at finite temperature. We get an almost perfect action in the continuum limit under the assumption that the action is composed of two-point interactions alone. It depends on a physical scale $b_s$ and the temperature $T$. The temperature-dependence appears with respect to the spacelike monopole couplings in the deconfinement phase, whereas the timelike monopole couplings do not show any appreciable temperature-dependence. The dimensional reduction of the 4-dimensional SU(2) gluodynamics ((SU(2))${}_{4D}$) at high temperature is the 3-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model ($(GG{)}_{3D}$). The latter is studied at the parameter region obtained from the dimensional red uction. We compare the effective instanton action of $(GG{)}_{3D}$ with the timelike monopole action obtained from (SU(2))${}_{4D}$. We find that both agree very well for $T\ge 2.4T_c$ at large $b$ region. The dimensional reduction works well also for the effective action.
