We explore a method developed in statistical physics which has been argued to have exponentially small finite-volume effects, in order to determine the critical temperature Tc of pure SU(3) gauge theory close to the continuum limit. The method allows us to estimate the critical coupling betac of the Wilson action for temporal extents up to Nt ~ 20 with < 0.1% uncertainties. Making use of the scale setting parameters r0 and sqrt{t0} in the same range of beta-values, these results lead to the independent continuum extrapolations Tc r0 = 0.7457(45) and Tc sqrt{t0} = 0.2489(14), with the latter originating from a more convincing fit. Inserting a conversion of r0 from literature (unfortunately with much larger errors) yields Tc / LambdaMSbar = 1.24(10).

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The spin-dependent heavy-quark potential in the quark-gluon plasma is complex, with a channel-dependent imaginary part first extracted from lattice QCD.

    hep-lat 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations of a 3D effective gluonic plasma theory produce the first reported momentum dependence of heavy quark drag and diffusion coefficients in a non-perturbative non-Abelian thermal medium.

  3. Lattice study of correlators of chromoelectric fields for heavy quarkonium dynamics in the quark-gluon plasma

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Adjoint chromoelectric correlators relevant for quarkonium dynamics are calculated in quenched lattice QCD and found to equal the fundamental correlator times Casimir factors, confirming leading-order relations nonper...

  4. Static Quark-Antiquark Interactions Under Rotation

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In quenched SU(3) lattice gluodynamics, imaginary rotation suppresses bare Polyakov free energies above Tc with a bulk shift well fit by A R_xy^2 + B, while the T≈0 static potential shows no significant rotation dependence.

  5. Shear and bulk viscosities of the gluon plasma across the transition temperature from lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Lattice QCD results show the shear viscosity to entropy density ratio of gluon plasma reaches a minimum near the transition temperature Tc while the bulk viscosity to entropy density ratio decreases monotonically from...

  6. Adjoint chromoelectric correlators for heavy quarkonium diffusion

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    First lattice measurement of adjoint chromoelectric correlators shows they scale with the fundamental heavy-quark diffusion correlator by the perturbative factors 5/4 and 9/4.
