Deconfinement transition in SU(N) theories from perturbation theory
We consider a simple massive extension of the Landau–DeWitt gauge for SU(N) Yang–Mills theory. We compute the corresponding one-loop effective potential for a temporal background gluon field at finite temperature. At this order the background field is simply related to the Polyakov loop, the order p...
