摘要

We present an exploratory study to determine the confinement-deconfinement transition temperature at finite θ, Tc(θ), for the 4d SU(2) pure Yang-Mills theory. Lattice numerical simulations are performed on three spatial sizes NS = 24, 32, 48 with a fixed temporal size NT = 8. We introduce a non-zero θ-angle by the sub-volume method to mitigate the sign problem. By taking advantage of the universality in the second order phase transition and the Binder cumulant of the order parameter, the θ-dependence of Tc is determined to be Tc(θ)/Tc(0) = 1 0.16(2) (θ/π)2 − 0.03(4) (θ/π)4 up to θ ∼ 0.9 π. The reliability of the extrapolations in the sub-volume method is extensively checked. We also point out that the temperature dependence of the topological susceptibility should exhibit a singularity with the exponent for the specific heat.
