Abstract:
The lattice data for the energy density of gauge theory are calculated with \nopderivatives of the coupling constants. These derivatives are obtained from two sources : i) a parametrization of the \nopbeta function in accord with the measured critical temperature and values and ii) a \nopcalculation of the presssure. We then perform a detailed finite size scaling analysis of the energy density near . It is shown that at the critical temperature the energy density is scaling as a function of with the corresponding Ising model critical exponents. The value of in the continuum limit is estimated to be 0.256(23). In the high temperature regime the energy density is approaching its weak coupling limit from below, at it has reached only about of the limit.- gauge field theory: SU(2)
