TY - JOUR AB - By calculating Polyakov-loop averages on a 60 2×2 lattice, we determine the critical exponent of deconfinement for SU(2) gauge theory in 2+1 dimensions. Universality arguments predict it to be the same as the critical exponent [beta]=(1/8) for the spontaneous magnetization in the two-dimensional Ising model. Our results are in good accord with this prediction.
