Comments on Yang–Mills thermodynamics: The Hagedorn spectrum and the gluon gas pictures for a generic gauge algebra
20 octobre 2011, HE Louvain en HainautArticle scientifiqueWe discuss the dependence of pure Yang–Mills equation of state on the choice of gauge algebra. In the confined phase, we generalize to an arbitrary simple gauge algebra Meyer’s proposal of modeling the Yang–Mills matter by an ideal glueball gas in which the high-lying glueball spectrum is approximated by a Hagedorn spectrum of closed-bosonic-string type. Such a formalism is undefined above the ... -
Relevance of glueball bound states in the Yang-Mills plasma within a many-body T-matrix approach
26 juillet 2012, HE Louvain en HainautArticle scientifiqueThe strongly coupled phase of Yang-Mills plasma with gauge group SU(3) is studied in a Tmatrix approach. The existence of lowest-lying glueballs, interpreted as bound states of two transverse gluons (quasi-particles in a many-body setup), is analyzed in a non-perturbative scattering formalism with the input of lattice-QCD static potentials. The relevance of the singlet and the (colored) octet ... -
The SUSY Yang Mills plasma in a T-matrix approach
12 août 2015, HE Louvain en HainautArticle scientifiqueIn this paper, the thermodynamic properties of N = 1 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory with an arbitrary gauge group are investigated. In the confined range, we show that identifying the bound state spectrum with a Hagedorn one coming from noncritical closed superstring theory leads to a prediction for the value of the deconfining temperature Tc that agrees with recent lattice data. The deconfined ... -
Thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma within a T-matrix approach
24 juin 2015, HE Louvain en HainautArticle scientifiqueThe strongly coupled phase of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is studied here by resorting to a T -matrix formulation in which the medium is seen as a nonideal gas of quasiparticles (quarks, antiquarks, and gluons) interacting nonpertubatively. In the temperature range under study, (1–5)Tc, where Tc is the temperature of deconfinement, the interactions are expected to be strong enough to generate ...
