Correlations and Critical Behavior in Lattice Gluodynamics

Abstract

In the Landau-gauge lattice gluodynamics we find that, both in the SU(2) and SU(3) theory, a correlation of the Polyakov loop with the asymmetry of the A2 gluon condensate as well as with the longitudinal propagator makes it possible to determine the critical behavior of these quantities. We discuss finitevolume corrections and reveal that they can be reduced by the use of regression analysis. We also analyze the temperature dependence of low-momenta propagators in different Polyakov-loop sectors.
