SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics: two-loop corrections to the pressure
U. Herbst, R. Hofmann, J. Rohrer
We compute the two-loop corrections to the thermodynamical pressure of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory being in its electric phase. Our results prove that the one-loop evolution of the…
Analytical approach to SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics
Ralf Hofmann
We propose an analytical approach to SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics. The existence of a macroscopic and rigid adjoint Higgs field, generated by dilute trivial-holonomy calorons at…
Nonperturbative and analytical approach to Yang-Mills thermodynamics
Ralf Hofmann
An analytical, macroscopic approach to SU(N) Yang-Mills thermodynamics is developed, tested,and applied.
Pointlike electrons and muons and the nature of neutrinos
Ralf Hofmann
We show that the form factor of an electron or a muon is unity for the modulus of the momentum transfer away from the Hagedorn temperatures and an…
A thermal theory for charged leptons
Ralf Hofmann
We propose that charged leptons are the `baryons' of the gauge dynamics subject to a SU(2)$\timesSU(2)_μ\timesSU(2)_τ$ symmetry. The `mesons' of this theory are neutral and t…
Operator Product Expansion and Quark-Hadron Duality: Facts and Riddles
Ralf Hofmann
We review the status of the practical operator product expansion (OPE), when applied to two-point correlators of QCD currents which interpolate to mesonic resonances, in view of th…
