Abstract

Using the simplicial pseudorandom version of lattice gauge theory we study simple Z(n) gauge models in D=3 dimensions. In this formulation it is possible to interpolate continuously between a regular simplicial lattice and a pseudorandom lattice. Calculating average plaquette expectation values we look for the phase transitions of the Z(n) gauge models with n=2 and 3. We find all the phase transitions to be of first order, also in the case of the Z(2) model. The critical couplings increase with the irregularity of the lattice.
