Evidence of a CP broken deconfined phase in 4D SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at θ = π from imaginary θ simulations

Abstract The spontaneous breaking of CP symmetry in 4D SU(N) pure Yang-Mills theory at θ = π has recently attracted much attention in the context of the higher-form symmetry and the ’t Hooft anomaly matching condition. Here we use Monte Carlo simulations to study the N = 2 case, which is interesting...
