Exploring Partially Confined Phases
Michael C. Ogilvie, Peter N. Meisinger, Joyce C. Myers
Phases of SU(N) gauge theories in which the global Z(N) symmetry breaks spontaneously to a subgroup Z(L) can be realized by adding appropriate Wilson line terms to the gauge action…
String tension scaling in models of the confined phase
Peter N. Meisinger, Michael C. Ogilvie
We introduce a D-dimensional Hamiltonian formalism for the study of Polyakov loop models of finite temperature gauge theories in D+1 dimensions. Polyakov loop string tensions are o…
Polyakov Loops, Z(N) Symmetry, and Sine-Law Scaling
Peter N. Meisinger, Michael C. Ogilvie
We construct an effective action for Polyakov loops using the eigenvalues of the Polyakov loops as the fundamental variables. We assume Z(N) symmetry in the confined phase, a finit…
Theory and Phenomenology of the Polyakov loop in QCD Thermodynamics
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
A synthesis of Polyakov loop models of the deconfinement transition and quasiparticle models of gluon plasma thermodynamics leads to a class of models in which gluons move in a non…
Phenomenological Equations of State for SU(N) Gauge Theories
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
Two phenomenological models describing an SU(N) gluon plasma are presented using the eigenvalues of the Polyakov loop as the order parameters of the deconfinement transition. Each…
Phenomenological Models of the Quark-Gluon Plasma Equation of State
Peter N. Meisinger, Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
Two phenomenological models describing an SU(N) quark-gluon plasma are presented. The first is obtained from high temperature expansions of the free energy of a massive gluon, whil…
