Critical temperature

T_cr₀ as a function of m_psr₀ on lattices with temporal extent N_τ=4, m_s=0.065 (squares) and m_s=0.1 (triangles) as well as for N_τ=6, m_s=0.04 (circles). Thin error bars represent the statistical and systematic error on r₀/a. The broad error bar combines this error with the error on β_c. The vertical line shows the location of the physical value m_ps r₀=0.321(5) and its width represents the error on r₀. The three parallel lines show results of fits based on Eq.(13) with d=1.08 for N_τ=4, 6 and N_τ→∞ (top to bottom).

Equation of State

       Energy density and three times the pressure as function of the temperature calculated on Nt=4 and 6 lattices.
       The temperature scale has been obtained from the Sommer scale r0.

Spatial string tension

Figure 4 in our paper [ Phys. Rev. D78, 034506 (2008)   e-Print: arXiv:0806.3264v1 [hep-lat] ]

The ratio of the temperature to the square root of the spatial string tension calculated on Nt=4, 6 and 8 lattices
compared with the prediction of dimensional reduction indicated by the line. The uncertainty in the prediction of the dimensionally reduced theory is shown by dashed lines. For easier visualization the temperature on the
lower horizontal axis has been rescaled by T_0=200MeV corresponding to r_0 T_0=0.47619.
We also show the temperature scale in units of r_0 on the upper horizontal axis.
