Obstructions to dimensional reduction in hot QCD
I describe results on screening masses in hot gauge theories. Wilsonian effective long distance theories called dimensionally reduced (DR) theories describe very well the longest screening length in pure gauge theories. In the presence of fermions, meson-like screening lengths dominate the long-distance physics for 3Tc/2 ≤ T < 3Tc, and thus obstruct perturbative DR. Extrapolation of our results...
متن کاملDimensional Reduction applied to QCD at higher orders
Dimensional Regularization (DREG) [2] has proven extremely successful for the evaluation of higher order corrections in quantum field theory, mostly because it preserves gauge invariance and thus does not interfere with the renormalizability of the Standard Model or QCD. Many techniques for evaluating Feynman diagrams have been developed within the framework of DREG, so perturbation theory heav...
متن کاملApplications of dimensional reduction to electroweak and QCD matter
This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation also containing the articles hep-ph/0311268, hep-ph/0510375, hep-ph/0512177 and hep-ph/0701250. The thesis discusses effective field theory methods, in particular dimensional reduction, in the context of finite temperature field theory. We first briefly review the formalism of thermal field theory and ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional physics and the pressure of hot QCD
We update Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional SU(3) + adjoint Higgs theory, by extrapolating carefully to the infinite volume and continuum limits, in order to estimate the contribution of the infrared modes to the pressure of hot QCD. The sum of infrared contributions beyond the known 4-loop order turns out to be a smooth function, of a reasonable magnitude and specific sign. Unfo...
متن کاملStrong correlations in hot QCD
After reviewing briefly the basic strategy of analyzing the RHIC data, recent lattice results of the non-pertubative/strong-coupling aspects of quark-gluon plasma probed primarily by the heavy quarks are presented. In particular, free energies of static quarks in various color channels, the Debye screening mass and the spatial string tension above the pseudo-critical temperature are discussed o...
