Description
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.
The energy density and pressure are evaluated by the derivative
method with non-perturabative anisotropy coefficients and by a
method using the Yang-Mills gradient flow.
We find that the pressure gap vanishes at all values of Nt when
the derivative method is 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
$\Delta (\epsilon -3 p)/T^4 = 0.623 \pm 0.056.$
