Gauge-Invariant Renormalization Group at Finite Temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
I describe an application of Wilson Renormalization group to the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory. The approach has two nice features: 1) the RG flow equations describe non-perturbatively the effect of thermal fluctuations only, and, 2) the flow is gauge invariant. I then describe the application of the method to the study of the gluon self-energy in SU(N), and present results for the computation of the Debye and magnetic screening masses.

Inheritance principle and Non-renormalization theorems at finite temperature
We show that in the large N limit, a weakly coupled SU(N) gauge theory with adjoint matter on a class of compact manifolds (like S) satisfies an “inheritance principle” in the low temperature phase. Finite temperature correlation functions of gauge invariant single-trace operators are related to those at zero temperature by summing over images of each operator in the Euclidean time direction. T...
متن کامل6 v 1 3 A ug 1 99 3 Renormalization of gauge invariant composite operators in light - cone gauge
We generalize to composite operators concepts and techniques which have been successful in proving renormalization of the effective Action in lightcone gauge. Gauge invariant operators can be grouped into classes, closed under renormalization, which is matrix-wise. In spite of the presence of nonlocal counterterms, an “effective” dimensional hierarchy still guarantees that any class is endowed ...
متن کاملManifestly Gauge Invariant Exact Renormalization Group
A manifestly gauge invariant exact renormalization group for pure SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is proposed, allowing gauge invariant calculations, without any gauge fixing or ghosts. The necessary gauge invariant regularisation which implements the effective cutoff, is naturally incorporated by embedding the theory into a spontaneously broken SU(N |N) super-gauge theory. This guarantees finiteness t...
متن کاملGauge Invariant Properties of Abelian Monopoles
Using a renormalization group motivated smoothing technique, we investigate the large scale structure of lattice configurations at finite temperature, concentrating on Abelian monopoles identified in the maximally Abelian, the Laplacian Abelian, and the Polyakov gauge. Monopoles are mostly found in regions of large action and topological charge, rather independent of the gauge chosen to detect ...
متن کاملGauge - Yukawa Unified Models
Gauge-Yukawa Unification (GYU) is obtained in GUTs by searching for renormalization group invariant relations among gauge and Yukawa couplings beyond the unification scale. Of particular interest are two supersymmetric GUTs, the finite and the minimal SU (5) models. Both models provided us,among others,with predictions of the top quark mass which so far have passed successfully the tests of pro...
