چکیده
We analyze the finite temperature deconfining phase transition in 2+1 dimensional GeorgiGlashow model. We show explicitly that the transition is due to the restoration of the magnetic Z2 symmetry and that it is in the Ising universality class. We find that neglecting effects of the charged W bosons leads to incorrect predictions for the value of the critical temperature and the universality class of the transition, as well as for various correlation functions in the high temperature phase. We derive the effective action for the Polyakov loop in the high temperature phase and calculate the correlation functions of magnetic vortex operators. PACS:

Semiclassical instanton solutions in the 3D SU(2) Georgi-Glashow model are transformed into the Weyl gauge. This illustrates the tunneling interpretation of these instantons and provides a smooth regularization of the singular unitary gauge. The 3D Georgi-Glashow model has both instanton and sphaleron solutions, in contrast to 3D Yang-Mills theory which has neither, and 4D Yang-Mills theory whi...

We report on our ongoing investigation of the deconfining phase transition in SU(4) and SU(6) gauge theories. We calculate the critical couplings while taking care to avoid the influence of a nearby bulk phase transition. We determine the latent heat of the phase transition and investigate the order and the strength of the transition at large Nc. We also report on our determination of the criti...

A subjective and incomplete list of interesting and unique features of the deconfinement phase transition is presented. Furthermore a formal similarity of the density matrix of the Aharonov-Bohm system and QCD is mentioned, as well.

We describe how thermalization occurs in heavy ion collisions in the framework of perturbative QCD. When the saturation scale Q s is large compared to Λ QCD , thermalization takes place during a time of order α −13/5 Q −1 s and the maximal temperature achieved is α 2/5 Q s .

A model of gauge mediation with m 3/2 ≃ O(1) eV is considered to motivate 100 TeV colliders. Massive mediators with standard-model and supersymmetry-breaking gauge quantum numbers let low-scale dynamics induce sizable soft masses of the standard-model superpartners. We circumvent potential phenomenological difficulties that such low-scale models tend to cause.
