Non-perturbative Thermodynamics of Quark-Gluon Plasma and Gravitational Waves
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.
Key Takeaways
- •Explores QGP using non-linear classical background fields.
- •Analyzes quark behavior in gluon backgrounds and their back-reaction.
- •Calculates thermodynamic pressure and compares continuum and lattice results.
- •Investigates the impact of gravitational waves on QGP.
- •Aims to understand non-perturbative aspects of QGP and its interaction with gravitational waves.
“The resulting thermodynamic pressure increases with temperature but exhibits an approximately logarithmic dependence.”
