Yang-Mills correlators at finite temperature: A perturbative perspective

Understand

We consider the two-point correlators of Yang-Mills theories at finite temperature in the Landau gauge.

• We employ a model for the corresponding Yang-Mills correlators based on the inclusion of an effective mass term for gluons.
• The latter is expected to have its origin in the existence of Gribov copies.
• One-loop calculations at zero temperature have been shown to agree remarkably well with the corresponding lattice data.
