Correlations of Abelian monopoles in quark-gluon plasma

Abstract

In this paper the properties of thermal Abelian monopoles in the deconfinement phase of the SU(2) gluodynamics are considered. In particular, to study the properties of the Abelian monopole component of QGP we calculate three-point correlation functions of monopoles for different temperatures from the region $T/T_c \in (1.5, 6.8)$. The results of the calculation show that the three-point correlation functions can be described by independent pair correlations of monopoles. From this one can conclude that the system of Abelian monopoles in QGP reveals the properties of a dilute gas. In addition, one can assert that the interaction between Abelian monopoles is a pair interaction and there are no three-particle forces acting between monopoles.
