We present the results of first-principle numerical simulations of Euclidean SU(3) Yang-Mills plasma rotating with a high imaginary angular frequency. The rigid Euclidean rotation is introduced via ``rotwisted'' boundary conditions along imaginary time direction. The Polyakov loop in the co-rotating Euclidean reference frame shows the emergence of a spatially inhomogeneous confining-deconfining phase through a broad crossover transition. A continuation of our numerical results to Minkowski spacetime suggests that the gluon plasma, rotating at real angular frequencies, produces a new inhomogeneous phase possessing the confining phase near the rotation axis and the deconfinement phase in the outer regions. The inhomogeneous phase structure has a purely kinematic origin, rooted in the Tolman-Ehrenfest effect in a rotating medium. We also derive the Euclidean version of the Tolman-Ehrenfest law in imaginary time formalism and discuss two definitions of temperature at imaginary Euclidean rotation.

  1. Chromomagnetic condensation and perturbative confinement induced by imaginary rotation in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In SU(2) Yang-Mills, imaginary rotation is shown to induce a chromomagnetic condensate and to turn the perturbative confinement transition first-order, with phase boundary approaching Ω̃_c = π/√3.

  2. Static Quark-Antiquark Interactions Under Rotation

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In quenched SU(3) lattice gluodynamics, imaginary rotation suppresses bare Polyakov free energies above Tc with a bulk shift well fit by A R_xy^2 + B, while the T≈0 static potential shows no significant rotation dependence.

  3. Dirac fermions under imaginary rotation

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Under imaginary rigid rotation, free Dirac fermions in the thermodynamic limit behave like a static system at inverse temperature q beta with the same chemical potential, yielding fractal dependence on the rotation parameter.

  4. Imaginary Rotating Gluonic Matter at Strong Coupling

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    At strong coupling, imaginary rotation suppresses the Polyakov-loop interaction, so the predicted deconfinement temperature of pure gluonic matter increases with the imaginary angular velocity.
