Construction and Consequences of Coloured Charges in Qcd

Charges in Gauge Theories

Recent progress in the construction of both electric, coloured and magnetic charges in gauge theories will be presented. The topological properties of the charged sectors will be highlighted as well as the applications of this work to confinement and infrared dynamics.

We first introduce the conceptual basis of critical behaviour in strongly interacting matter, with colour deconfinement as QCD analog of the insulator-conductor transition and chiral symmetry restoration as special case of the associated shift in the mass of the constituents. Next we summarize quark-gluon plasma formation in finite temperature lattice QCD. We consider the underlying symmetries ...

High-temperature QCD and the classical Boltzmann equation in curved spacetime

It has been shown that the high-temperature limit of perturbative thermal QCD is easily obtained from the Boltzmann transport equation for ‘classical’ coloured particles [2]. We generalize this treatment to curved space-time. We are thus able to construct the effective stress-energy tensor. We give a construction for an effective action. As an example of the convenience of the Boltzmann method,...

On the Ultramean Construction

We use the ultramean construction to prove linear compactness theorem. We also extend the Rudin-Keisler ordering to maximal probability charges and characterize it by embeddings of power ultrameans.
