Description

In previous work, Billoire and two of the present authors proposed that the deconfining temperature can be estimated from the tunneling transition of the 't Hooft electric flux by exploiting an asymmetric geometry. Here we carry out such a calculation analytically. We generalize Luescher's effective hamiltonian to asymmetric LtL2∞ tori and compute the SU(2) electric flux in the adiabatic approximation of Koller and van Baal. We obtain the estimate 3.7 ΛMS < Tc < 4.6 ΛMS. (orig.)
