Gluon Quasiparticles and the Polyakov Loop
Peter N. Meisinger, Michael C. Ogilvie, Travis R. Miller
A synthesis of Polyakov loop models of the deconfinement transition and quasiparticle models of gluon plasma thermodynamics leads to a class of models in which gluon quasiparticles…
Theory and Phenomenology of the Polyakov loop in QCD Thermodynamics
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
A synthesis of Polyakov loop models of the deconfinement transition and quasiparticle models of gluon plasma thermodynamics leads to a class of models in which gluons move in a non…
A Phenomenological Treatment of Chiral Symmetry Restoration and Deconfinement
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
A phenomenological expression for the thermodynamic potential of gluons and quarks is constructed which incorporates the features of deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration k…
Phenomenological Equations of State for SU(N) Gauge Theories
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
Two phenomenological models describing an SU(N) gluon plasma are presented using the eigenvalues of the Polyakov loop as the order parameters of the deconfinement transition. Each…
Phenomenological Models of the Quark-Gluon Plasma Equation of State
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
Two phenomenological models describing an SU(N) quark-gluon plasma are presented. The first is obtained from high temperature expansions of the free energy of a massive gluon, whil…
Nonequilibrium Aspects of Quantum Field Theory
Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
We have developed a method for extracting equilibrium observables from non-equilibrium simulations by rapidly changing the temperature and recording the subsequent evolution of the…
