Description
We present an accurate computation of the Equation of State of SU(3)
Yang-Mills theory using shifted boundary conditions in the temporal direction. In this framework, the entropy density s(T) can be obtained in a simple way from the v.e.v. of the space-time components T_0k of
the energy-momentum tensor. Furthermore, contrary to the standard
approach, the Equation of State s(T)/T^3 can be measured in an independent way at any value of the temperature. The extrapolation to
the continuum limit shows almost no dependence on the lattice artifacts.
