The asymmetry of the dimension 2 gluon condensate: the finite temperature case

Understand

In this paper, we continue the work begun in a previous article.

• We compute, in the formalism of local composite operators, the value of the asymmetry in the dimension two condensate for finite temperatures.
• We find a positive value for the asymmetry, which disappears when the temperature is increased.
• We also compute the value of the full dimension two condensate for higher temperatures, and we find that it decreases in absolute value, finally disappearing for sufficiently high temperature.
