Abstract

A three-parameter effective action for the Polyakov lines of finite temperature QCD is derived from Monte Carlo simulations of the underlying gauge theory, using both microcanonical demons and Schwinger-Dyson equations. The demon method proves more accurate. The dominant couplings are a positive fundamental and a negative adjoint nearest-neighbor coupling. The next-nearest-neighbor fundamental coupling is small and ferromagnetic, eliminating it as a mechanism for a possible second order deconfining transition.
