Renormalized finite temperature effective potential ofSU(2) Yang-Mills theory

  • Published:
Acta Physica Hungarica New Series Heavy Ion Physics

Abstract

It is shown that the renormalized finite temperature effective potential for continuumSU(2) Yang-Mills theory develops a non-perturbative minimum for sufficiently strong coupling, i.e. below a critical temperature. The corresponding phase can be the candidate for the confining phase of the continuum theory and becomes energetically favoured basicly due to the decay of theA 0 condensate into three gluons.
