abstract

We report progress towards computing the heavy quark momentum diffusion coefficient from the correlator of two chromo-electric fields attached to a Polyakov loop in pure SU(3) gauge theory. Using a multilevel algorithm and tree-level improvement, we study the behavior of the diffusion coefficient as a function of temperature in the wide range $1.1 < T / T_c < 10^4$ in order to compare it to perturbative expansions at high temperature. We find that within errors the lattice results are remarkably compatible with the next-to-leading order perturbative result.

  1. Perturbative and nonperturbative properties of heavy quark transport in a thermal SU(3) gluon plasma

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a gluon plasma near Tc, a temperature-dependent background color field suppresses heavy-quark collisional energy loss and momentum diffusion relative to perturbative QCD.

  2. Adjoint chromoelectric correlators for heavy quarkonium diffusion

    hep-lat 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    First lattice measurement of adjoint chromoelectric correlators shows they scale with the fundamental heavy-quark diffusion correlator by the perturbative factors 5/4 and 9/4.

  3. Coherent State Path Integral Reveals Unexpected Vacuum Structure in Thermal Field Theory

    hep-th 2025-07 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A coherent-state derivation of the thermal partition function yields extra vacuum and mass-coupling terms that the authors claim are novel, though these terms reflect the chosen operator ordering.
