Description
Quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collision experiments is affected by relativistic rotation and strong acceleration, which influence its properties. In this report, we present the results of lattice investigation into how the confinement/deconfinement phase transition in gluodynamics is affected by rotation and acceleration. Specifically, we find that under the influence of these effects, the finite-temperature confinement/deconfinement phase transition becomes a spatial crossover. That is, spatially separated confinement and deconfinement phases can coexist within certain ranges of thermodynamic parameters. Additionally, we explore the properties of this transition.
