Description
For the confined phase of pure SU(N) gauge theory, we use a twisted boundary condition to produce two ordered phases simultaneously. Between these two ordered phases there naturally lies an order-order (o-o) interface, for which we evaluate the surface tension by calculating the difference in free energy of the twisted and non-twisted lattices. To accurately measure the first-order phase transition region, we employ multicanonical sampling. With these measurements, we draw conclusions of the finite volume effects of the method and the perfect wetting hypothesis.
