Caloron correction to the effective potential in thermal gluodynamics
Chris P. Korthals Altes, Alfonso Sastre
The effective potential in thermal gluodynamics has stable minima in perturbation theory. There the Wilson line is center group valued and eigenvalues of the Wilson line stay clust…
The thermal instanton determinant in compact form
Chris. P. Korthals Altes, Alfonso Sastre
The thermal instanton determinant for the gauge group can be reduced to a form involving two simple functions. Various boundary conditions can easily incorporated. Only a t…
Domain Walls and Metastable Vacua in Hot Orientifold Field Theories
Adi Armoni, Chris P. Korthals Altes, Agostino Patella
We consider "Orientifold field theories", namely SU(N) gauge theories with Dirac fermions in the two-index representation at high temperature. When N is even these theories exhibit…
Wilson line in high temperature particle physics
S. Bronoff, G. Dvali, K. Farakos +1
The physics of the Wilson line leads to new developments in high temperature particle physics. The main tool is the effective action for a given fixed value of the phase of the Wil…
Constrained effective potential in hot QCD
C. P. Korthals Altes
Constrained effective potentials in hot gauge theory give the probability that a configuration p of the order parameter (Polyakov loop) occurs. They are important in the analysis o…
