Abstract:
We show that the Kazakov-Migdal (K-M) induced gauge model in dd dimensions describes the high temperature limit of ordinary lattice gauge theories in d+1d+1 dimensions. The matter fields are related to the Polyakov loops, while the spatial gauge variables become the gauge fields of the K-M model. This interpretation of the K-M model is in agreement with some recent results in high temperature lattice QCD.
