Phase Structure of Lattice N=4 Super Yang-Mills

Understand

We make a first study of the phase diagram of four-dimensional N=4 super Yang-Mills theory regulated on a space-time lattice.

• The lattice formulation we employ is both gauge invariant and retains at all lattice spacings one exactly preserved supersymmetry charge.
• Our numerical results are consistent with the existence of a single deconfined phase at all observed values of the bare coupling.
