Xt. Zheng, VARIATIONAL CALCULATION OF LATTICE SU(N) Z(N) GAUGE SYSTEMS FOR N=3-SIMILAR-TO-6/, Communications in Theoretical Physics, 30(3), 1998, pp. 471-474
A variational calculation scheme of SU(N)/Z(N) lattice gauge models fo
r large but finite N is presented. The order parameter, the internal e
nergy [E], and the phase transition points of lattice SU(N)/Z(N) gauge
systems for N = 3 similar to 6 are calculated. The results of [E] are
in good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations.
