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.…
Forces, fluxes and quasi-particles in hot QCD
Chris P. Korthals Altes
These lectures start with a brief overview of salient features of the critical region of hot QCD. The main emphasis is on the accurate description of static plasma observables by t…
Cosmological constraints from extra-dimension induced domain walls
C. P. Korthals Altes
TeV size extra dimensions introduce domain walls. Such walls are inconsistent with CMB anisotropies. Either inflationary dynamics washes them out, or the reheating temperature is l…
Phase diagram of 3D SU(3) gauge-adjoint Higgs system
S. Bronoff, R. Buffa, C. P. Korthals Altes
Thermally reduced QCD leads to three dimensional SU(3) gaugefields coupled to an adjoint scalar field . We compute the effective potential in the one-loop approximation and ev…
Thermal Gauge Theory, Effective Action and Z(N) Symmetry
S. Bronoff, R. Buffa, C. P. Korthals Altes
One of the salient features of high temperature gluodynamics is the Z(N) groundstate degeneracy, key to the understanding of the transition. On the other hand impressive progress h…
