Abstract

We compute the critical temperature T_c for the deconfinement transition of pure QCD on coarse lattices, with N_t = 2, 3, 4, and lattice spacings from .33 fm to .15 fm. We employ a perturbatively improved gluon action designed to remove order a² and α_s a² errors. We find that T_c in units of the charmonium 1P--1S splitting and the torelon mass is independent of a to within approximately 5%.
