Yang-Mills theory and QCD are well-defined for any Lie group as gauge group. The choice G2 is of great interest, as it is the smallest group with trivial center and being at the same time accessible to simulations. This theory has been…
We consider an effective Lagrangian containing contributions from glueball and gluon degrees of freedom with a scale-invariant coupling between the two. The thermodynamic potential is calculated taking into account thermal fluctuations of…
The behavior of supersymmetric theories at finite temperatures differs from that of other theories in certain aspects. Due to the different thermal statistics of bosons and fermions, supersymmetry is explicitly broken for any non-zero value…
We give the alternative formulation of quasiparticle model of quark gluon plasma with medium dependent dispersion relation. The model is thermodynamically consistent provided the medium dependent contribution to the energy density is taken…
Recently, the Yang-Mills gradient flow is found to be a useful concept not only in lattice simulations but also in continuous field theories. Since its smearing property is similar to the Wilsoninan "block spin transformation", there might…
We investigate in detail a 2-level algorithm for the computation of 2-point functions of fuzzy Wilson loops in lattice gauge theory. Its performance and the optimization of its parameters are described in the context of 2+1D SU(2)…
An analytical and inductive approach to hot SU(N) Yang-Mills dynamics is developed. For N=2,3 pressure and energy density are pointwise compared with lattice data.
We study a pure gluon plasma in the context of quasiparticle models, where the plasma is considered as an ideal gas of massive bosons. In order to reproduce SU(3) gauge field lattice data within such a framework, we review briefly the…
We consider the two-point correlators of Yang-Mills theories at finite temperature in the Landau gauge. We employ a model for the corresponding Yang-Mills correlators based on the inclusion of an effective mass term for gluons. The latter…
The AdS/CFT correspondence has provided new and useful insights into the nonperturbative regime of strongly coupled gauge theories. We construct a class of models meant to mimic Yang-Mills theory using the superpotential method. This method…
Correlation functions of Landau gauge Yang-Mills theory are calculated from their equations of motion. Solutions for the three- and four-gluon vertices and the role of two-loop diagrams in the gluon propagator equation are discussed.
In order to derive equation of state for the pure SU(3) Yang-Mills fields from first principles, it is proposed to generalize the effective potential approach for composite operators to non-zero temperatures. It is essentially…
We investigate the low-order Green's functions of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge, using a covariant variational principle based on the effective action formalism. Employing an approximation to the Faddeev-Popov determinant…
In this study it is demonstrated that a simple picture of the QCD gluon liquid emerges in the dynamical quasiparticle model that specifies the active degrees of freedom in the time-like sector and yields a potential energy density in the…
We report on the latest results of the low-lying spectrum of bound states in SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with light gluinos. The behavior of the disconnected contributions in the critical region is analyzed. A first investigation of a…
We interpret lattice data for the equation of state of pure gauge $SU(3)_c$ by an evaporation model. At low temperatures gluons are frozen inside the gluon condensate, whose dynamics is described in terms of a dilaton lagrangian. Above the…
We present in this work a generalization of the solution of Gorenstein and Yang to the inconsistency problem of thermodynamics for systems of quasi-particles whose masses depend on both the temperature and the chemical potential. We work…
We compute the Euclidean correlators of the stress tensor in pure $SU(3)$ Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature at zero and finite spatial momenta with lattice simulations. We perform continuum extrapolations using $N_\tau=10,12,16,20$…
We introduce a class of stochastic weakly coupled map lattices, as models for studying heat conduction in solids. Each particle on the lattice evolves according to an internal dynamics that depends on its energy, and exchanges energy with…
There are, among others, currently two important views on the non-perturbative structure of Yang-Mills theory. One is through topological configurations and one is through Green's functions, in particular their (asymptotic) infrared…
