Abstract

We propose a modified mean field theory for pure lattice gauge systems. The theory emphasizes independent plaquette contributions rather than independent link contributions as in the usual mean field theory. Using only one link integrals, the theory reproduces the overall behavior of mean plaquette energies for various gauge groups over a wide range of β including the phase transition or crossover region. The theory discriminates between actual phase transition and crossover behavior for different gauge groups.
