Phys. Rev. Lett. 53, 2359–2362 (1984)Analytic Approach to Phase Transitions in Lattice Gauge TheoriesReceived 26 June 1984; published in the issue dated 17 December 1984 The Hamiltonian formulation is analyzed in a basis of gauge-invariant loop states. A natural geometric asymptotic approximation for the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian is developed to identify the phase diagram of the theory. Satisfactory explicit calculations are performed in the case of Z2. © 1984 The American Physical Society URL:
