Abstract:
The effect of rotation on the confinement/deconfinement phase transition in SU(3) gluodynamics has been studied in lattice simulation in the rotating reference frame, where rotation is specified by an external gravitational field. To analyze the confinement/deconfinement phase transition, the Polyakov loop and its susceptibility have been calculated for various temperatures and angular velocities. The results obtained have indicated that the critical temperature of the confinement/deconfinement phase transition in SU(3) gluodynamics increases with the angular velocity.
