Abstract

In the framework of the instanton liquid model (ILM), we consider thermal modifications of the gluon properties in different scenarios of temperature TT dependence of the average instanton size ρˉ(T)\bar{\rho}(T) and the instanton density n(T)n(T) known from the literature. Due to interactions with instantons, the gluons acquire the dynamical temperature dependent "electric" gluon mass Mel(q,T).M_{el}(q,T). We found that at small momenta and zero temperature Mel(0,0)362MeVM_{el}(0,0)\approx362\,{\rm MeV} at the phenomenological values of ρˉ(0)=1/3fm\bar{\rho}(0)=1/3\,{\rm fm} and n(0)=1fm4n(0)=1\,{\rm fm}^{-4}, however the TT-dependence of the mass is very sensitive to the temperature dependence of the instanton vacuum parameters ρˉ(T),n(T)\bar{\rho}(T),\,n(T): it is very mild in case of the lattice-motivated dependence and decreases steeply in the whole range with theoretical parametrization. We see that in region 0<T<Tc0<T<T_{c} ILM is able to reproduce lattice results for the dynamical "electric" gluon mass.
