Lattice simulations of a SU(N) matrix model — •Dominik Smith and Adrian Dumitru — Institut für theoretische Physik, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Max-von-Laue-Straße 1, 60438 Frankfurt

We perform lattice simulations of a SU(N) matrix model in three spatial dimensions. Using metropolis updating, we investigate autocorrelation times, expectation values of Polyakov loops in various representations and of their two-point correlation functions. The results give insight into properties of the deconfining phase transition in high temperature SU(N) gauge theories.
