Yang-Mills thermodynamics: The deconfining phase

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We summarize recent nonperturbative results obtained for the thermodynamics of an SU(2) and an SU(3) Yang-Mills theory being in its deconfining (electric) phase. Emphasis is put on an explanation of the concepts involved. The presentation of technical details is avoided.
