We present a precision determination of the critical coupling beta_c for the deconfinement transition in pure SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. This is possible from universality, by intersecting the center vortex free energy as a function of the lattice coupling beta with the exactly known value of the interface free energy in the 2D Ising model at criticality. Results for lattices with different numbers of sites N_t along the Euclidean time direction are used to determine how beta varies with temperature for a given N_t around the deconfinement transition.

  1. Confining Flux Tube in the Trace Deformed (2+1) Dimensional SU(2) Gauge Theory

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In the reconfined phase of trace-deformed (2+1)D SU(2) gauge theory, Polyakov-loop data are accurately fit by the Polchinski-Yang rigid string while Nambu-Goto fails, with modified flux-tube width and a shift to first...

  2. Intrinsic Width of the Flux Tube as a tool to explore confining mechanisms in Lattice Gauge Theories

    hep-lat 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Lattice data on the intrinsic width of SU(2) flux tubes in 2+1D distinguish confining models, favoring dual superconductor at low T but with length-dependent Ginzburg-Landau parameter.
