The $A^2$ Asymmetry and Gluon Propagators in Lattice $SU(3)$ Gluodynamics at $T\simeq T_c$

Abstract

We study numerically the chromoelectric-chromomagnetic asymmetry of the dimension two $A^2$ gluon condensate as well as the infrared behavior of the gluon propagators at $T\simeq T_c$ in the Landau-gauge $SU(3)$ lattice gauge theory. We find that a very significant correlation of the real part of the Polyakov loop with the asymmetry as well as with the longitudinal propagator makes it possible to determine the critical behavior of these quantities. We obtain the screening masses in different Polyakov-loop sectors and discuss the dependence of chromoelectric and chromomagnetic interactions of static color charges and currents on the choice of the Polyakov-loop sector in the deconfinement phase.
