SU ( 2 ) Yang - Mills thermodynamics : two - loop corrections to the pressure
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the two-loop corrections to the thermodynamical pressure of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory being in its electric phase. Our results prove that the one-loop evolution of the effective gauge coupling constant is reliable for any practical purpose. We thus establish the validity of the picture of almost noninteracting thermal quasiparticles in the electric phase. Implications of our results for the explanation of the large-angle anomaly in the power spectrum of temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background are discussed.

Radiative corrections to the pressure and the one-loop polarization tensor of massless modes in SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics
We compute the one-loop polarization tensor Π for the on-shell, massless mode in a thermalized SU(2) Yang-Mills theory being in its deconfining phase. Postulating that SU(2)CMB today = U(1)Y , we discuss Π’s effect on the lowmomentum part of the black-body spectrum at temperatures ∼ 2 · · · 4TCMB where TCMB ∼ 2.7K. A table-top experiment is proposed to test the above postulate. As an applicatio...
متن کاملOnset of magnetic monopole-antimonopole condensation
We determine the critical strength of the effective electric coupling for the onset of Bose condensation of stable magnetic monopoles and antimonopoles in SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics. Two scenarios are considered: infinitely fast and infinitely slow downward approach of the critical temperature. Our results support the claim that the first lepton family and the weak interactions emerge from...
متن کاملLoop expansion in Yang-Mills thermodynamics
We argue that a selfconsistent spatial coarse-graining, which involves interacting (anti)calorons of unit topological charge modulus, implies that realtime loop expansions of thermodynamical quantities in the deconfining phase of SU(2) and SU(3) Yang-Mills thermodynamics are, modulo 1PI resummations, determined by a finite number of connected bubble diagrams. .
متن کاملSpatial Wilson loop in continuum, deconfining SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics
The uniquess of the effective actions describing 4D SU(2) and SU(3) continuum, infinitevolume Yang-Mills thermodynamics in their deconfining and preconfining phases is made explicit. Subsequently, the spatial string tension is computed in the approach proposed by Korthals-Altes. This SU(2) calculation is based on a particular, effective two-loop correction to the pressure needed for the extract...
متن کاملIntegrability in Yang-Mills theory on the light cone beyond leading order.
The one-loop dilatation operator in Yang-Mills theory possesses a hidden integrability symmetry in the sector of maximal-helicity Wilson operators. We calculate two-loop corrections to the dilatation operator and demonstrate that, while integrability is broken for matter in the fundamental representation of the SU(3) gauge group, for the ajoint SU(N(c)) matter it survives the conformal symmetry...
