Yang-Mills thermodynamics: The preconfining 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 preconfining (magnetic) phase. We focus on an explanation of the involved concepts and derivations, and we avoid technical details.
