Deconfining phase transition in QCD(4) and QED(4) at finite temperature

We investigate the deconfining phase transition in QCD_4 and QED_4 at finite temperature using a perturbative deformation of topological quantum field theory (TQFT). A modified maximal abelian gauge (MAG) is utilized in the analysis. In this case, we can derive the linear potential studying the 2D theory through Parisi-Sourlas (PS) dimensional reduction. The mechanism of deconfining phase transition is proposed. It is geometrical to discuss the thermal effect on the linear potential. All we have to do is to investigate the behavior of topological objects as such instantons and vortices on a cylinder. This is the great advantage of our scenario. This mechanism is also applied in the case of QED_4. The Phase structure at the high temperature of QED is investigated using the Coulomb potential on a cylinder. It coincides with the result in the lattice compact U(1) gauge theory. Also, QCD with MAG has the property called the abelian dominance, which enables us to discuss the deconfinement of QCD_4.
