Introductory lecture notes on the Karabali-Nair theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The Schroedinger functional treatment of 2+1 D Yang-Mills theory (related to the magnetic mass problem of 4D hot gluons) is recapitulated by following Karabali, Kim and Nair in Nucl. Phys. B 524 (1998) 661 (first half). The notes include the Hermitean WZW model and end up with the lowest eigenvalue (mass gap) of the functional kinetic energy. Let calculational details be invariant under the (german) language used.
