Series expansions in lattice QCD at finite temperature — •Jens Langelage and Owe Philipsen — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster

We calculate several observables in finite temperature lattice QCD in strong coupling expansions. Among these observables are the equation of state and the Polyakov loop susceptibility.

We use these series to get estimates for the critical parameters of the corresponding phase transition. For the pure gauge case our results are in good agreement with results from Monte Carlo simulations.
