Abstract The standard U ( N ) and S U ( N ) integrals are calculated in the large N limit. Our main finding is that for an important class of integrals this limit is different for two groups. We describe the critical behaviour of S U ( N ) models and discuss implications of our results for the large N behaviour of S U ( N ) lattice gauge theories at finite temperatures and non-zero baryon chemical potential. The key ingredients of our approach are 1) expansion of the integrals into a sum over…

The ’t Hooft-Veneziano limit of various U(N) and SU(N) Polyakov loop models is constructed at finite temperature and non-zero baryon chemical potential. In this paper we calculate the free energy,
Strong coupling methods in QCD thermodynamics
For a long time, strong coupling expansions have not been applied systematically in lattice QCD thermodynamics, in view of the success of numerical Monte Carlo studies. The persistent sign problem at
Polyakov loop eigenvalues in the presence of baryon chemical potential
The eigenvalues of the Polyakov loop are calculated in the strong coupled lattice QCD at finite tempera­ ture. This is done both in the pure gauge theory and in the theory with heavy quarks at finite
