Overview – <strong>QCD</strong> – F<strong>in</strong>ite Temperature <strong>QCD</strong> – Unsettled Issues: Failure of perturbation <strong>the</strong>ory – Early Universe - Summary<br />

Non-trivial High-Temperature Phase<br />

● Perturbation <strong>the</strong>ory fails<br />

● Infrared divergences<br />

– Similar to <strong>the</strong> vacuum<br />

● Most problems for<br />

chromomagnetic sector<br />

● Also spatial str<strong>in</strong>g tension<br />

cannot be expla<strong>in</strong>ed by<br />

perturbation <strong>the</strong>ory<br />

● High temperature <strong>phase</strong> cannot be perturbative<br />

● Likely not even at <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite temperature<br />
