Yang-Mills thermodynamics at low temperature
Abstract
Description
For the confining phase of SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics we show that the asymptotic series representing the pressure is Borel summable for negative (unphysical) values of a suitably defined coupling constant. The inverse Borel transform is meromorphic except for a branch cut along the positive-real axis. The physical pressure is precisely nil at vanishing and acquires a small imaginary admixture at small temperature the latter indicating violations of thermal equilibrium (turbulences).
