We try to separate the perturbative and non-perturbative contributions to the plaquette of pure SU(3) gauge theory. To do this we look at the large-n asymptotic behaviour of the perturbation series in order to estimate the contribution of…
We study the gluon propagator in Landau gauge in the deconfined phase of $SU(2)$ gauge theory. From the long-distance behaviour of correlation functions of temporal and spatial components of the gauge fields we extract electric ($m_e$) and…
In this paper we apply the formalism of local composite operators as developed by Verschelde et al. in combination with a constant chromomagnetic field as considered in the seventies by Savvidy and others. We find that a nonzero <A_\mu^2>…
One of the salient features of high temperature gluodynamics is the Z(N) groundstate degeneracy, key to the understanding of the transition. On the other hand impressive progress has been obtained with effective theories, that seemingly…
The large density of gluons, which is present shortly after a nuclear collision at very high energies, can lead to the formation of a condensate. We identify a gauge-invariant order parameter for condensation based on elementary…
Gluon and quark contributions to the thermodynamic potential (free energy) of a (2+1)-dimensional QCD model at finite temperature in the background of a constant homogeneous chromomagnetic field H combined with A_0 condensate are…
We make progress towards a derivation of a low energy effective theory for SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. This low energy action is computed to 1-loop using the renormalization group technique, taking proper care of the Slavnov-Taylor identities…
Perturbation theory in the nonperturbative QCD vacuum and the non-Abelian Stokes theorem, representing a Wilson loop in the SU(2) gluodynamics as an integral over all the orientations in colour space, are applied to derivation of the…
We present an alternative way to calculate the screening of the static potential between two charges in (non)abelian gauge theories at high temperatures. Instead of a loop expansion of a gauge boson self-energy, we evaluate the energy shift…
In SU(N) gluodynamics, above the de-confinement temperature, the effective potential has minima at non-zero $A_0$-background fields in the two-loop approximation. Also, it has a minimum at non-zero chromomagnetic background field, known as…
Any description of gluons requires a well-defined gauge. This is complicated non-perturbatively by Gribov copies. A possible method-independent gauge definition to resolve this problem is presented and afterwards used to study the…
We present some evidence that in Lattice Gauge Theory the condensate contains a non-perturbative contribution proportional to $\Lambda^2$, the square of the physical scale. This result is based on an analysis of the Wilson loop plaquette…
We show how to generalize the previous result of the monopole condensation in SU(2) QCD to SU(3) QCD. We present the gauge independent Weyl symmetric Abelian decomposition of the SU(3) QCD which decomposes the gluons to the color neutral…
Topological lumps are known to be present in gluonic fields of SU(3) gluodynamics. Near the transition temperature they were classified either as constituents of nondissociated (anti)calorons, or as constituents of (anti)dyon pairs, or as…
It is shown, that the possibility of a freezing of QCD running coupling constant at zero in the approach with "forced analyticity" can not be in accord with Schwinger-Dyson equation for gluon propagator. We propose to add to the analytic…
The vacuum state of SU(3) gluodynamics at high temperature is investigated. A consistent approach including the calculation of either the spontaneously generated constant chromomagnetic isotopic $H_{3}$ and hypercharge $H_{8}$ fields or the…
Based on the Dyson-Schwinger equation, we compute the resummed gluon propagator in a holonomous plasma that is described by introducing a constant background field for the vector potential $A_{0}$. Due to the transversality of the…
We discuss critical slowing-down of several gauge-fixing algorithms for the so-called lambda-gauges in the SU(2) case at zero temperature. For these gauges we also evaluate the gluon propagator using different definitions of the lattice…
The next-to-leading order contribution $\d\P\omn (\o ,\vc q )$ to the polarization function of the hot gluon system is analysed at non-zero wave vectors $\vc q \,$. Using Braaten-Pisarski resummation and general covariant gauges, $\d\P\omn$…
I derive expressions for various correlators of the gauge field and find propagators in a new gauge A^\tau=0. This gauge is a part of the wedge form of relativistic dynamics suggested earlier as the tool for the study of quantum dynamics in…
