Finite Temperature Deconfining Transition in the BRST Formalism

We present a toy model study of the high temperature deconfining transition in Yang-Mills theory as a breakdown of the confinement condition proposed by Kugo and Ojima. Our toy model is a kind of topological field theory obtained from the Yang-Mills theory by taking the limit of vanishing gauge coupling constant g_<YM>→0, and therefore the gauge field A_μ is constrained to the pure-gauge configuration A_μ=g^†∂_μg. At zero temperature this model has been known to satisfy the confinement condition of Kugo and Ojima which requires the absence of the massless Nambu-Goldstone-like mode coupled to the BRST-exact color current. In the finite temperature case based on the real-time formalism, our model in 3+1 dimensions is reduced, by the Parisi-Sourlas mechanism, to the "sum" of chiral models in 1+1 dimensions with various boundary conditions of the group element g(t, x) at the ends of the time contour. We analyze the effective potential of the SU(2) model and find that the deconfining transition in fact occurs due to the contribution of the sectors with non-periodic boundary conditions.
