Abstract

The dilepton production rate from the deconfined medium is analyzed with the photon self-energies constructed from quark propagators obtained by lattice numerical simulation for two values of temperature T=1.5TcT=1.5T_{\rm c} and 3Tc3T_{\rm c} above the critical temperature TcT_{\rm c}. The photon self-energy is calculated by the Schwinger-Dyson equation with the lattice quark propagtor and a vertex function determined so as to satisfy the Ward-Takahashi identity. The obtained dilepton production rate at zero momentum exhibits divergences reflecting van Hove singularity, and is significantly enhanced around ωT\omega\simeq T compared with the rate obtained by the perturbative analysis.
