Deconfinement in Matrix Models about the Gross--Witten Point
Adrian Dumitru, Jonathan Lenaghan, Robert D. Pisarski
We study the deconfining phase transition in SU(N) gauge theories at nonzero temperature using a matrix model of Polyakov loops. The most general effective action, including all te…
Renormalized Polyakov Loops, Matrix Models and the Gross-Witten Point
Adrian Dumitru, Jonathan T. Lenaghan
The values of renormalized Polyakov loops in the three lowest representations of SU(3) were measured numerically on the lattice. We find that in magnitude, condensates respect the…
The Abelianization of QCD Plasma Instabilities
Peter Arnold, Jonathan Lenaghan
QCD plasma instabilities appear to play an important role in the equilibration of quark-gluon plasmas in heavy-ion collisions in the theoretical limit of weak coupling (i.e. asympt…
