We examine the finite-temperature deconfinement phase transition of(2+1)-dimensional SU(5) Yang-Mills theory via non-perturbative latticesimulations. Unsurprisingly, we find that the transition is of first order,however it appears to be weak. This fits naturally into the general picture of"large" gauge groups having a first order deconfinement transition, even whenthe center symmetry associated with the transition might suggest otherwise.Comment: 17 pages, 8 figure
