Finite Temperature Deconfining Transition in the BRST Formalism

Abstract:

We present a toy model study of the high temperature deconfining transition in Yang-Mills theory as a breakdown of the confinement condition proposed y Kugo and Ojima. Our toy model is a kind of topological field theory obtained from the Yang-Mills theory by taking the limit of vanishing gauge coupling constant gYM →0, and therefore the gauge field Aµ is constrained to the pure-gauge configuration Aµ = g†∂µg. At zero temperature this model has been known to satisfy the confinement condition of Kugo and Ojima which requires the absence of the massless Nambu-Goldstone-like mode coupled to the BRST-exact color current. In the finite temperature case based on the real-time formalism, our model in 3 + 1 dimensions is reduced, by the Parisi-Sourlas mechanism, the the “sum” of chiral models in 1 + 1 dimensions with various boundary conditions of the group element g(t, x) at the ends of the time contour. We analyze the effective potential of the SU(2) model and find that the deconfining transition in fact occurs due to the contribution of the sectors with non-periodic boundary conditions.
