摘要：We study effective Polyakov loop models for SU(N) Yang-Mills theories at finite temperature.
In particular effective models for SU(3) YM with an additional adjoint Polyakov loop potential
are considered. The rich phase structure including a center and anti-center directed phase is
reproduced with an effective model utilizing the inverseMonte-Carlo method. The demon method
as a possibility to obtain the effective models’ couplings is compared to the method of Schwinger-
Dyson equations. Thermalization effects of microcanonical and canonical demon method are
analyzed. Finally the elaborate canonical demon method is applied to the finite temperature SU(4)
YM phase transition.
