Abstract

Phase and modulus of an energy- and pressure-free, composite and adjoint field in an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory are computed. This field is generated by trivial holonomy calorons of topological charge one. It possesses nontrivial S1-winding on the group manifold. The two-loop contribution to the thermodynamical pressure of an SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in the electric (deconfining) phase is computed in the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory. The result supports the picture of only very weakly interacting quasiparticles.
