Abstract

Reduced large N gauge theories have a transition between phases with unbroken and broken center symmetry. The phase with unbroken symmetry is associated with the zero temperature, infinite volume, infinite N theory. Measurements of the scalling properties of the latent heat test the hypothesis that the phase in which the symmetry is broken in just one spatial direction is the reduction of the high temperature, infinite volume, infinite N theory. While substantial finite spacing effects are observed, physical scaling for the latent heat at smaller lattice spacing is a viable possibility.
