The unbearable smallness of magnetostatic QCD corrections

Chris P. Korthals Altes

One loop corrections to the magnetostatic QCD action are evaluated to dimension six in the magnetostatic fields.The result is remarkably simple $${1\over 4}\int d\vec x (F^a_{ij})^…

How Wide is the Transition to Deconfinement?

Adrian Dumitru, Yun Guo, Yoshimasa Hidaka +2

Pure SU(3) glue theories exhibit a deconfining phase transition at a nonzero temperature, Tc. Using lattice measurements of the pressure, we develop a simple matrix model to descri…

Spatial 't Hooft loop in hot SUSY theories at weak coupling

Chris P. Korthals Altes

The spatial 't Hooft loop measures the colour electric flux in SU(N)/Z(N) gauge theory. It is a closed loop of Dirac Z(N) flux and has strength k=1, 2,.., N-1. It is analyzed for g…

ZQCD and universal matching to domain walls

C. P. Korthals Altes

We discuss the one loop matching procedure in ZQCD. Universality and Casimir scaling leave -in terms of the 't Hooft coupling- just two combinationsof parameters to be fixed numeri…

Hot QCD, k-strings and the adjoint monopole gas model

Chris P. Korthals Altes, Harvey B. Meyer

When the magnetic sector of hot QCD, 3D SU(N) Yang-Mills theory, is described as a dilute gas of non-Abelian monopoles in the adjoint representation of the magnetic group, Wilson l…

Quasi-particle Model in hot QCD

C. P. Korthals Altes

Magnetic quasi-particles in hot QCD predict Casimir scaling for the tension of spatial Wilson loops. Recently this scaling has been verified on the lattice to 1--2% precision.…
