Thermal effective potential for the Polyakov loop to higher loop order
Hiromichi Nishimura, Chris Korthals-Altes, Robert D. Pisarski +1
This is a progress report on the calculation of the effective potential for the Polyakov loop in pure gauge theory beyond two-loop order. We introduce a new approach using…

Gauge Theories with a Layered Phase
A. Hulsebos, C. P. Korthals-Altes, S. Nicolis
We study abelian gauge theories with anisotropic couplings in dimensions. A layered phase is present, in the absence as well as in the presence of fermions. A line of second…

Z(N) Bubbles and their Descendants in Hot QCD: Alive and Bubbling
C. P. Korthals-Altes
The spontaneous breaking of Z(N) symmetry in hot QCD and the appearance of domain walls is reviewed.
