| contents | We apply the previously-developed sub-volume method to study the $θ$-dependence of the four-dimensional SU(2) Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature. We calculate the first two coefficients, the topological susceptibility $χ$ and the fourth cumulant $b_2$, in the $θ$-expansion of the free energy density around the critical temperature ($T_c$) for the confinement-deconfinement transition. Lattice calculations are performed with three different spatial sizes $24^3,32^3,48^3$ to monitor finite size effects, while the temporal size is fixed to be $8$. The systematic uncertainty associated with the sub-volume extrapolation is studied with special care. The sub-volume method allows us to determine the values of $b_2$ much more accurately than the standard full-volume method, and we successfully identify the temperature dependence of $b_2$ around $T_c$. Our numerical results suggest that the $θ$-dependence of the free energy density near $θ=0$ changes from $4χ(1-\cos(θ/2))$ to $χ(1-\cosθ)$ as the temperature crosses $T_c$. |
