Theory at Quark Matter '02
Robert D. Pisarski
I summarize theory at Quark Matter 2002, stressing the continuing inability of a single model to describe all notable features of the data from GeV.
The deconfined phase near Tc and its decay into hadrons
A. Dumitru, R. D. Pisarski
We sketch an effective theory for the deconfined state of QCD near Tc. This relates the behavior of the expectation value of the Polyakov loop, and its two-point functions, to the…
Two-point functions for SU(3) Polyakov Loops near T_c
Adrian Dumitru, Robert D. Pisarski
We discuss the behavior of two point functions for Polyakov loops in a SU(3) gauge theory about the critical temperature, T_c. From a Z(3) model, in mean field theory we obtain a p…
Notes on the Deconfining Phase Transition
Robert D. Pisarski
I review the deconfining phase transition in an SU(N) gauge theory without quarks. After computing the interface tension between Z(N) degenerate vacua deep in the deconfined phase,…
