Fuzzy Bags and Wilson Lines

Robert D. Pisarski

Department of Physics, Brookhaven National Laboratory,
Upton, NY 11973, USA

I start with an elementary observation about the pressure in the deconfined phase of a SU(3) gauge theory without quarks. This suggests a “fuzzy” bag model for the analogous pressure in QCD, with dynamical quarks. I then sketch how the deconfined phase might be described using an effective theory of Wilson lines. To leading order in weak coupling, the effective electric field appears in a form familiar from the lattice theory of Banks and Ukawa.
