Analysis

This paper investigates the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), a state of matter in the early universe, using non-linear classical background fields (SU(2) Yang-Mills condensates). It explores quark behavior in gluon backgrounds, calculates the thermodynamic pressure, compares continuum and lattice calculations, and analyzes the impact of gravitational waves on the QGP. The research aims to understand the non-perturbative aspects of QGP and its interaction with gravitational waves, contributing to our understanding of the early universe.

The resulting thermodynamic pressure increases with temperature but exhibits an approximately logarithmic dependence.
