Spatial 't Hooft loop, hot QCD and Z_N domain walls
C. Korthals-Altes, A. Kovner, M. Stephanov
We show that the deconfinement phase transition in the pure Yang-Mills theory can be characterized by the change of behaviour the spatial 't Hooft loop, V(C). In the confining phas…

Sphaleron Transition Rate in Presence of Dynamical Fermions
A. Kovner, A. Krasnitz, R. Potting
We investigate the effect of dynamical fermions on the sphaleron transition rate at finite temperature for the Abelian Higgs model in one spatial dimension. The fermion degrees of…
