Yang-Mills thermodynamics

Abstract

We present a quantitative analysis of Yang-Mills thermodynamics in 4D flat spacetime. The focus is on the gauge group SU(2). Results for SU(3) are mentioned in passing. Although all essential arguments and results were reported elsewhere we summarize them here in a concise way and offer a number of refinements and some additions.

v3: 39 pages, 6 figures, slight modification of introduction, information added to Secs. 3.1. and 3.3
