Dual condensate and QCD phase transition
Bo Zhang, Falk Bruckmann, Christof Gattringer +2
The dual condensate is a new QCD phase transition order parameter, which connnects confinement and chiral symmetry breaking as different mass limits. We discuss the relation betwee…
Vortex content of calorons and deconfinement mechanism
Falk Bruckmann, Ernst-Michael Ilgenfritz, Boris Martemyanov +1
We reveal the center vortex content of SU(2) calorons and ensembles of them. While one part of the vortex connects the constituent dyons of a single caloron, another part is predom…
A random matrix-like model for the Polyakov loop and center symmetry
Falk Bruckmann
We formulate a random matrix-like model for the Polyakov loop in SU(N) Yang-Mills theories. It describes a simplified dynamics in terms of eigenvalue differences. The deconfinement…
