Renormalization of the Polyakov loop with gradient flow
Renormalization of the Polyakov loop with gradient flow
We use the gradient flow for the renormalization of the Polyakov loop in various representations. Using $2+1$ flavor QCD with highly improved staggered quarks and lattices with temporal extents of ${N}_{\ensuremath{\tau}}=6$, 8, 10 and 12 we calculate the renormalized Polyakov loop in many representations including fundamental, sextet, adjoint, decuplet, 15-plet, …
