We calculate the colour averaged and colour singlet free energies of static quark anti-quark sources placed in a thermal gluonic heat bath. We discuss the renormalization of these free energies using the short distance properties of the zero temperature heavy quark potential. This leads to the definition of the renormalized Polyakov loop as an order parameter for the deconfinement phase transition of the SU(3) gauge theory which is well behaved in the continuum limit.

  1. Spatially inhomogeneous confinement-deconfinement phase transition in accelerated gluodynamics

    hep-lat 2026-03 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations find spatially inhomogeneous confinement-deconfinement transition in weakly accelerated SU(3) gluodynamics, with phase boundary following TE prediction and unchanged critical temperature.

  2. Spatial confinement-deconfinement transition in accelerated gluodynamics within lattice simulation

    hep-lat 2026-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Lattice simulations in Rindler spacetime show that acceleration turns the confinement-deconfinement transition in gluodynamics into a spatial crossover that approximately follows the Tolman-Ehrenfest law, while the cr...

  3. Thermal Static Potential and Pseudo-Scalar Quarkonium Spectral Functions from 2+1 Flavor Lattice QCD

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Pseudoscalar quarkonium spectral functions built from a non-perturbative complex thermal potential show eta_c close to melting at 1.6 Tpc while eta_b remains a narrow, well-defined state.

  4. Beyond Mean Field: Fluctuation Diagnostics and Fixed-Point Behavior

    nucl-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Theoretical diagnostics for mean-field breakdown demonstrate that spatial structure and finite interaction ranges qualitatively modify renormalization-group flows.
