Gauge-independent Thermal β Function In Yang-Mills Theory
It is proposed to use the pinch technique (PT) to obtain the gaugeindependent thermal β function in a hot Yang-Mills gas. Calculations of the thermal β function are performed at one-loop level in four different gauges, (i) the background field method with an arbitrary gauge, (ii) the Feynman gauge, (iii) the Coulomb gauge, and (iv) the temporal axial gauge, and they yield the same result in all...
متن کاملGauge-independent Thermal β Function in Yang-Mills Theory via the Pinch Technique
It is proposed to use the pinch technique to obtain the gauge-independent thermal β function βT in a hot Yang-Mills gas. Calculations of βT are performed at one-loop level in four different gauges, (i) the background field method with an arbitrary gauge parameter, (ii) the Feynman gauge, (iii) the Coulomb gauge, and (iv) the temporal axial gauge. When the pinch contributions to the gluon self-e...
متن کاملYang-Mills Theory In Axial Gauge
The Yang-Mills functional integral is studied in an axial variant of ’t Hooft’s maximal Abelian gauge. In this gauge Gauß’ law can be completely resolved resulting in a description in terms of unconstrained variables. Compared to previous work along this line starting with work of Goldstone and Jackiw one ends up here with half as many integration variables, besides a field living in the Cartan...
متن کاملQuantum Criticality and Yang-Mills Gauge Theory
We present a family of nonrelativistic Yang-Mills gauge theories in D+1 dimensions whose free-field limit exhibits quantum critical behavior with gapless excitations and dynamical critical exponent z = 2. The ground state wavefunction is intimately related to the partition function of relativistic Yang-Mills in D dimensions. The gauge couplings exhibit logarithmic scaling and asymptotic freedom...
متن کاملYang-Mills theory as an Abelian theory without gauge fixing
A general procedure to reveal an Abelian structure of Yang-Mills theories by means of a (nonlocal) change of variables, rather than by gauge fixing, in the space of connections is proposed. The Abelian gauge group is isomorphic to the maximal Abelian subgroup of the Yang-Mills gauge group, but not its subgroup. A Maxwell field of the Abelian theory contains topological degrees of freedom of ori...
