Gluon Condensate and Quark Propagation in the QGP
Andreas Sch"afer, Markus H. Thoma

TL;DR
This paper calculates the thermal quark propagator considering the gluon condensate above the critical temperature, deriving the quark dispersion relation in the quark-gluon plasma.
Contribution
It introduces a method to incorporate the gluon condensate into the thermal quark propagator and derives the resulting dispersion relation.
Findings
Gluon condensate significantly affects quark propagation in QGP
Derived quark dispersion relation above critical temperature
Provides insights into quark behavior in high-temperature QCD
Abstract
A calculation of the thermal quark propagator is presented taking the gluon condensate above the critical temperature into account. The quark dispersion relation following from this propagator is derived.
