Polyakov Loop Models, 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 symmetry in the confined phase, a f…
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…
Nonequilibrium Aspects of Quantum Field Theory
Travis R. Miller, Michael C. Ogilvie
We have developed a method for extracting equilibrium observables from non-equilibrium simulations by rapidly changing the temperature and recording the subsequent evolution of the…
Monte Carlo Estimate of Finite Size Effects in Quark-Gluon Plasma Formation
Andy Gopie, Michael C. Ogilvie
Using lattice simulations of quenched QCD we estimate the finite size effects present when a gluon plasma equilibrates in a slab geometry, i.e., finite width but large transverse d…
Renormalization of the Classical Velocity in the Lattice Heavy Quark Effective Theory
Jeffrey E. Mandula, Michael C. Ogilvie
In the lattice formulation of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory (LHQET), the classical velocity becomes renormalized. The origin of this renormalization is the reduction of Lorentz…
