An alternate picture of the deconfined phase of gauge theories is described. Instead of a plasma, the theory is viewed as a condensate of Polyakov lines. The pressure is determined by an elementary mean field theory.
We report a method for the evaluation of the one-loop self-energy, to all orders in the external binding field, using a Gaussian basis set expansion. This choice of basis is motivated by its widespread use in molecular calculations. For a…

Plasmas in strong magnetic fields have been mainly studied in two distinct limiting cases--that of weak and strong nonideality with very different physical properties. While the former is well described by the familiar theory of Braginskii,…
A collisionless plasma is modeled by the Vlasov-Poisson system in one-dimension. A fixed background of positive charge, dependent only upon velocity, is assumed and the situation in which the mobile negative ions balance the positive charge…
