Description

Conformal field theory and high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations are used to determine the conformal dimension of the Polyakov line operator at the finite temperature SU (3) gauge theory transition in three dimensions. Results are well in accord with the hypothesis placing this transition in the universality class of the 3-state Potts model in two dimensions. (orig.)
