Center-symmetric effective theory for high-temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills theory
Center-symmetric effective theory for high-temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills theory
We construct and study a dimensionally reduced effective theory for high-temperature SU(2) Yang-Mills theory that respects all the symmetries of the underlying theory. Our main motivation is to study, whether the correct treatment of the center symmetry can help extend the applicability of the dimensional reduction procedure towards the confinement …
