We study latent heat and the pressure gap between the hot and cold phases at the first-order deconfining phase transition temperature of the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. Performing simulations on lattices with various spatial volumes and lattice spacings, we calculate the gaps of the energy density and pressure using the small flow-time expansion (SFtX) method. We find that the latent heat $Delta epsilon$ in the continuum limit is $Delta epsilon /T^4 = 1.117 pm 0.040$ for the aspect ratio $N_s/N_t=8$ and $1.349 pm 0.038$ for $N_s/N_t=6$ at the transition temperature $T=T_c$. We also confirm that the pressure gap is consistent with zero, as expected from the dynamical balance of two phases at $T_c$. From hysteresis curves of the energy density near $T_c$, we show that the energy density in the (metastable) deconfined phase is sensitive to the spatial volume, while that in the confined phase is insensitive. Furthermore, we examine the effect of alternative procedures in the SFtX method - the order of the continuum and the vanishing flow-time extrapolations, and also the renormalization scale and higher-order corrections in the matching coefficients. We confirm that the final results are all very consistent with each other for these alternatives.

We calculate the energy gap (latent heat) and pressure gap between the hot and cold phases of the SU(3) gauge theory at the first order deconfining phase transition point. We perform simulations around the phase transition point with the lattice size in the temporal direction Nt=6, 8 and 12 and extrapolate the results to the continuum limit. We also investigate the spatial volume dependence. The energy density and pressure are evaluated by the derivative method with non-perturabative anisotropy coefficients. We adopt a multi-point reweighting method to determine the anisotropy coefficients. We confirm that the anisotropy coefficients approach the perturbative values as Nt increases. We find that the pressure gap vanishes at all values of Nt when the non-perturbative anisotropy coefficients are used. The spatial volume dependence in the latent heat is found to be small on large lattices. Performing extrapolation to the continuum limit, we obtain $ Delta epsilon/T^4 = 0.75 pm 0.17 $ and $ Delta (epsilon -3 p)/T^4 = 0.623 pm 0.056.$

The preliminary results are consistent with those by the derivative method within the error.
We study the pressure anisotropy in anisotropic finite-size systems in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory at nonzero temperature. Lattice simulations are performed on lattices with anisotropic spatial volumes with periodic boundary conditions. The energy-momentum tensor defined through the gradient flow is used for the analysis of the stress tensor on the lattice. We find that a clear finite-size effect in the pressure anisotropy is observed only at a significantly shorter spatial extent compared with the free scalar theory, even when accounting for a rather large mass in the latter.
Using finite size scaling techniques and a renormalization scheme based on the Gradient Flow, we determine non-perturbatively the $beta$-function of the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory for a range of renormalized couplings $bar g^2sim 1-12$. We perform a detailed study of the matching with the asymptotic NNLO perturbative behavior at high-energy, with our non-perturbative data showing a significant deviation from the perturbative prediction down to $bar{g}^2sim1$. We conclude that schemes based on the Gradient Flow are not competitive to match with the asymptotic perturbative behavior, even when the NNLO expansion of the $beta$-function is known. On the other hand, we show that matching non-perturbatively the Gradient Flow to the Schrodinger Functional scheme allows us to make safe contact with perturbation theory with full control on truncation errors. This strategy allows us to obtain a precise determination of the $Lambda$-parameter of the $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory in units of a reference hadronic scale ($sqrt{8t_0},Lambda_{overline{rm MS}} = 0.6227(98)$), showing that a precision on the QCD coupling below 0.5% per-cent can be achieved using these techniques.
Euclidean two-point correlators of the energy-momentum tensor (EMT) in SU(3) gauge theory on the lattice are studied on the basis of the Yang-Mills gradient flow. The entropy density and the specific heat obtained from the two-point correlators are shown to be in good agreement with those from the one-point functions of EMT. These results constitute a first step toward the first principle simulations of the transport coefficients with the gradient flow.
