Description
We integrate out all the link variables in the partition function of SU(N) or U(N) lattice gauge theory with the Wilson plaquette action, for arbitrary values of the lattice coupling. The partition function is recast as a Gaussian integral over auxiliary fields, after using suitable Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations. We extend our formalism to lattice gauge theories with staggered fermions at finite temperature and density, and show how to construct the corresponding monomer-dimer-polymer models for arbitrary values of the lattice coupling.
