Description

A Monte Carlo simulation of SU(3) lattice gauge theory at finite temperature which includes the effect of all purely timelike quark loops indicates that there is no deconfining phase transition for realistic quark masses. The results are in agreement with predictions based on effective-spin models of the deconfining transition
