Abstract

The phase structure of SU(2)/Z₂ lattice gauge theory at finite temperature is studied. We predict a phase diagram consistent with certain general properties revealed by an analysis of the hamiltonian version of the theory, and check our predictions against the results of Monte Carlo calculations on 8³ × 4, 8³ × 3 and 8³ × 2 lattices. The effect of 't Hooft's twisted boundary conditions on SU(N)/Z_N lattice gauge theory is also discussed.
