摘要:We study the phase structure of the four-dimensional twisted Eguchi-Kawai model using numerical
simulations. This model is an effective tool for studying SU(N) gauge theory in the large-N
limit and provides a nonperturbative formulation of the gauge theory on noncommutative spaces.
Recently it was found that its Z4
N symmetry, which is crucial for the validity of this model, can
break spontaneously in the intermediate coupling region. We investigate in detail the symmetry
breaking point from the weak coupling side. Our simulation results show that the continuum limit
of this model cannot be taken.
