A gauge invariant Debye mass and the complex heavy-quark potential
Following the original idea of Debye, we define and extract a gauge-invariant screening mass from the complex static in-medium heavy-quark potential VQQ¯, recently obtained from lattice QCD. To this end we derive a formula using concepts from both effective- and classical field theories that faithfu...
