✦ Synopsis

We investigate the deconfining phase transition in SU(3) p ure gauge theory and in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions by means of a gauge invariant thermal partition functional.

In the pure gauge case our finite size scaling analysis is in agreement with the well known weak first order phase transition.

In the case of 2 flavors full QCD we find that the phase transition is consistent with weak first order, contrary to the expectation of a crossover for not too large quark masses.

The transition is studied by means of a disorder parameter detecting condensation of magnetic monopoles in the vacuum. The deconfining transition is found to coincide with the chiral transition and the susceptibility ρ, related to the disorder parameter, is consistent with a first order phase transi
