Scalar Field Theory with a Non-Standard Potential
Sebastian Scheffler, Ralf Hofmann, Ion-Olimpiu Stamatescu
We study the phase structure of a 4D complex scalar field theory with a potential V(Phi) = | Lambda^3 / Phi - Lambda Phi |^2 at zero and at finite temperature. The model is analyze…
Correlation of energy density in deconfining SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics
Jochen Keller, Ralf Hofmann, Francesco Giacosa
We compute the two-point correlation of the energy density for the massless mode in deconfining SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics and point towards a possible application for the phy…
SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics and photon physics
Ralf Hofmann
Based on quantitative predictions enabled by a nonperturbative approach to Yang-Mills thermodynamics it is explained why the physics of photon {\sl propagation} is not unlikely roo…
Yang-Mills thermodynamics
Ralf Hofmann
We present a quantitative analysis of Yang-Mills thermodynamics in 4D flat spacetime. The focus is on the gauge group SU(2). Results for SU(3) are mentioned in passing. Although al…
Irreducible three-loop contributions to the pressure in Yang-Mills thermodynamics
Dariush Kaviani, Ralf Hofmann
In the effective theory for the deconfining phase of SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics we compute estimates for the moduli of the irreducible three-loop diagrams contributing to the…
Nonperturbative screening of the Landau pole
Francesco Giacosa, Ralf Hofmann
Based on the trace anomaly for the energy-momentum tensor, an effective theory for the thermodynamics of the deconfining phase, and by assuming the asymptotic behavior to be determ…
