The blackbody radiation in a box L 3 with periodic boundary conditions in thermal equilibrium at a temperature T is affected by finite-size effects. These bring about modifications of the thermodynamic functions which can be expressed in a closed form in terms of the dimensionless parameter LT . For instance, when LT ∼ 4—corresponding to the value where the most reliable SU ( N ) gauge lattice simulations have been performed above the deconfining temperature T c —the deviation of the free energy density from its thermodynamic limit is about 5%. This may account for almost half of the pressure deficit observed in lattice simulations at T ∼ 4 T c .
