Conundrum for the Free Energy of a Holonomous Gluonic Plasma at Cubic Order by Korthals Altes, Christiaan P.; Nishimura, Hiromichi; Pisarski, Robert D.; Skokov, Vladimir V. is a Physics and Astronomy article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Conundrum for the Free Energy of a Holonomous Gluonic Plasma at Cubic Order about?
We compute the term ∼ g 3 in the free energy for a SU (N) gauge theory with nonzero holonomy at nonzero temperature. If the holonomy is generated kinematically by the introduction of gauge invariant sources coupled to Polyakov loops, the contribution of charged (off-diagonal) gluons to the free energy at order g 3 , F (3:c.g.) , is singular: F (3:c.g.) = 0 without holonomy, but F (3:c.g.) = 0 when the holonomy is nonzero, even infinitesimally. We show that the absence of the charged gluon contribution is required by gauge invariance alone and is therefore a universal feature.
