Static Mass Scales in Hot Gauge Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
The static sectors of the electroweak Standard Model and QCD at finite temperatures are described by 3d SU(N) Higgs models with scalars in the fundamental and adjoint representation, respectively. I summarize the non-perturbative physics of these theories like mass spectrum, string tension, screening of the static potential and non-perturbative corrections to the Debye mass, as obtained from recent lattice simulations. It is observed that in the 3d theory corresponding to the purely magnetic sector there is a larger hierarchy between different quantities than between the electric (∼ gT ) and magnetic (∼ gT ) sectors of finite T gauge theories, which are not generally well separated.

An effective theory for ω ≪ k ≪ gT color dynamics in hot non - Abelian plasmas
A proper sequence of effective theories, corresponding to larger and larger distance scales, is crucial for analyzing real-time equilibrium physics in hot non-Abelian plasmas. For the study of color dynamics (by which I mean physics involving long wavelength gauge fluctuations), an important stepping stone in the sequence of effective theories is to have a good effective theory for dynamics wit...
متن کاملSolution to the perturbative infrared catastrophe of hot gauge theories.
The free energy of a nonabelian gauge theory at high temperature T can be calculated to order g using resummed perturbation theory, but the method breaks down at order g. A new method is developed for calculating the free energy to arbitrarily high accuracy in the high temperature limit. It involves the construction of a sequence of two e ective eld theories by rst integrating out the momentum ...

Much progress has been made on understanding static equilibrium properties of gauge theories at finite temperature. This includes perturbative results valid at asymptotically high temperature [1–4], as well as accurate results on phase structure, thermodynamics, correlation lengths and other observables from numerical simulations [5]. Far less progress has been made on dynamic properties of hot...
متن کاملA Z2 Structure in the Configuration Space of Yang-Mills Theories
We argue for the presence of a Z2 topological structure in the space of static gauge-Higgs field configurations of SU(2n) and SO(2n) Yang-Mills theories. We rigorously prove the existence of a Z2 homotopy group of mappings from the 2-dim. projective sphere RP 2 into SU(2n)/Z2 and SO(2n)/Z2 Lie groups respectively. Consequently the symmetric phase of these theories admits infinite surfaces of od...
متن کاملHierarchy of effective field theories of hot electroweak matter.
A hierarchy of effective three-dimensional theories of finite temperature electroweak matter is studied. First an integration over non-static modes leads to an effective theory containing a gauge field A a i , an adjoint Higgs field A a 0 and the fundamental Higgs field φ α. We carry out the integration in the 1-loop approximation, study renormalisation effects and estimate quantitatively those...
