TL;DR
This paper investigates the renormalized quark-anti-quark free energy in SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperatures, analyzing different color states and thermal relations to distinguish potential energy and entropy contributions.
Contribution
It provides new results on the renormalized free energies for singlet, octet, and averaged states, and discusses methods to separate potential energy and entropy effects.
Findings
Renormalized free energies for different color states are computed.
Thermal relations enable separation of potential energy and entropy.
Results enhance understanding of quark interactions at finite temperature.
Abstract
We present results on the renormalized quark-anti-quark free energy in SU(3) gauge theory at finite temperatures. We discuss results for the singlet, octet and colour averaged free energies and comment on thermal relations which allow to extract separately the potential energy and entropy from the free energy.
