Yang-Mills and QCD Thermodynamics from Functional Methods — •Leonard Fister and Jan Martin Pawlowski — Universität Heidelberg

We study the temperature dependence of correlators in Yang-Mills theory and QCD. For this purpose we utilise a purely thermal renormalisation group flow equation, and obtain the full thermal propagators. Interestingly, the electric screening mass is sensitive to the confinement-deconfinement phase transition. We also compute thermodynamic quantities such as the pressure for Yang-Mills theory, and discuss first results of a computation of correlation functions and thermodynamics in full QCD.
