Description
The latent heat of the first-order deconfinement phase transition in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory can be determined from the discontinuity in the entropy density $s(T_c)$ at the critical temperature $T_c$. Using shifted boundary conditions, the entropy density becomes a primary thermal observable that can be computed from the expectation value of the space-time components $T_{0k}$ of the renormalized energy-momentum tensor. This approach provides a convenient framework for such calculation. We present an accurate determination of the latent heat using Monte Carlo simulations on systems with large spatial size $ L T_c \simeq 30 $ and at four different lattice spacings.
