in magnetic sector[Linde 1980]
I highly nonpert. ground-state physics even for T � Λ:

Yang-Mills thermodynamics – p.4/28
deconfining ground stateI coarse-grained (anti)calorons of |Q| = 1
⇒ adjoint scalar field φa, |φ| spatially homogeneous
I strategy:
– thermodynamics ⇒ φa periodic in eucl. timein any admissible gauge ⇒phase φa determined by classical configs.
– stable configs.: |Q| = 1 HS (anti)calorons (BPS)of trivial holonomy
(no EXPLICIT holonomy in deconfining phase!)[Gross, Pisarski, Yaffe 1981]
Yang-Mills thermodynamics – p.5/28
– compute φa ∈(Kernel of D)≡ K respectingisotropy and SHS = 8π2
g2 6= f(T, Λ) ininf.-vol. average over magnetic-magneticcorrelation mediated by single (anti)caloron
– fixes D uniquely ⇒ winding number
– pick max. resolution µ such that µ = |φ| = const
– consistency of BPS and Euler-Lagrange
⇒ V (φ) and Λ as constant of integration
⇒ µ = |φ| consistent with IR saturation of K

What about Q = 0?I perturbative renormalizability:

arguments on loop expansion in general:[RH 2006]
– resummation of 1PI diagrams⇒ no pinch singularities
– irreducible diagrams terminateat finite loop order
(Euler characteristics for spherical polyhedron,constraints on loop momenta in effective theory⇒number of constraints exceedsnumber of independent radial loop variables
at sufficiently large number of loops)Yang-Mills thermodynamics – p.16/28
preconfining phaseI cond. of monop. (stable, nontrivial holonomy):
[Diakonov et al. 2004; Gerhold, Ilgenfritz, Muller-Preussker2006; Diakonov & Petrov 2007]
– phase of complex scalar =magnetic flux through SR=∞
2of M-A pair at rest (e → ∞)
– modulus as in dec. phase– no change of form of action for
free dual gauge modes by coarse-graining⇒ unique effective action– Polyakov loop always unique– pressure exact at one loop– evol. of dual coupling g (Legendre trafos)
Yang-Mills thermodynamics – p.17/28
I counting of d.o.f.:
fundamentally:
1 species (’photon’)×2 pols.+1 species (center-vortex loop) =3
after coarse-graining:
1 species (massive ’photon’)×3 pols.=3
⇒ 3 (fund)=3 (coarse-grained).
same way for SU(3):⇒ 6 (fund)=6 (coarse-grained)
Yang-Mills thermodynamics – p.18/28
low temperatureI condensation of center-vortex loops (CVL’s)
[’t Hooft 1978, de Forcrand & Smekal 2002, de Forcrand & Noth2005, ... ]

summary and conclusionsI deconf. phase:
– magnetic-magnetic correlations in(anti)calorons generate adj. Higgs field
– rapid saturation of average
– negative ground-state pressure by microscopicholonomy shifts (annihilating M-A pairs)
– thermal quasiparticles on tree level(adj. Higgs mech.)
– very small radiative corrections, terminationof expansion in terms of irreducible loops

– loop expansion trivial
Yang-Mills thermodynamics – p.26/28
I conf. phase:– averaged center flux of CVL pair
through min. surface spanned by S∞1
generates discrete values of phaseof complex scalar; modulus=condensate
– excitations are single or selfintersecting CVL’sof factorially growing multiplicity
– asymptotic-series representation of pressure– Borel summability for complex values of T– analytic continuation: rapidly (slowly) rising
modulus of real (imaginary) part– interpretation: growing relevance of turbulences
with increasing T
