1. Introduction[A] Why Dyson-Schwinger Equation (DSE)? 1) Rigorous FT eq. to study non-perturbative phenomena 2) Possibility of systematic improvement of the interaction kernel through analytic study
inclusion of the dominant thermal effect (HTL), etc.
[B] DSE with the HTL resummed interaction kernel Difficult to solve 1) Point vertex = ladder kernel (Z1 = 1) 2) Improved ladder kernel (HTL resummed propagator) 3) Instantaneous exchange approximation to the longitudinal propagator transverse one: keep the full HTL resummed form
Introduction (cont’d)
[C] Landau gauge analysis 1) Importance of the HTL correction Large “correction” to the results from the free kernel 2) Large imaginary part: Real A, B, C rejected But ! 3) A(P) significantly larger than 1: A(P) ~1.4 or larger NB: A(P) = 1 required from the Ward-Takahashi Identity Z1 = Z2
4) Same results in the constant gauges
[D] Nonlinear gauge inevitable
to satisfy the Ward-Takahashi Identity Z1 = Z2, and to get gauge “invariant” result (in the same sense at T=0 analysis)

3. Consistency with the WT IdentityVacuum QED/QCD :
In the Landau gauge A(P) = 1 guaranteed
in the ladder SD equation where Z1 = 1
WT identity satisfied : “gauge independent” solution
Finite Temperature/Density :
Even in the Landau gauge A(P) ≠ 1
in the ladder SD equation where Z1 = 1
WT identity not satisfied : “gauge dependent” solution
To get a solution satisfying the WT identity
through the ladder DSE at finite temperature: (1) Assume the nonlinear gauge such that the gauge
parameter being a function of the momentum (2) In solving DSE iteratively, impose A(P) = 1 by constraint
(for the input function at each step of the iteration)
Can get a solution satisfying A(P) = 1 ?!
thus, satisfying the Ward-Takahashi identity!!
Same level of discussion possible as the vacuum QED/QCD
Gauge invariance (Ward-Takahashi Identity)
0 21 ZZ T=0 Landau gauge ( ) holds
because A(P)=1 for the point vertex
T. Maskawa and H. Nakajima, PTP 52,1326(1974)
PTP 54, 860(1975)
Find the gauge such that A(P)= 1 holds
Z1 = Z2 (= 1) holds

5. Summary and Outlook• DS equation at finite temperature is solved in the
(“nonlinear”) gauge to make the WT identity hold
• The solution satisfies A(P)=1, consistent with the WT identity Z1 = Z2
gauge “invariant” solution ! Very plausible!! • Significant discrepancy from the Landau gauge case, though is small
• Critical exponents ν : depends on the coupling strength !? η : independent of the temperature

Summary and Outlook (cont’d)
• Both the Real and Complex analyses :
Give the same solution (present result) ! gauge “invariant” solution ! stand the same starting level as the vacuum QED/QCD analysis
• Application to QCD at finite T and density
In future• Manifestly gauge invariant analysis• Analysis of the co-existing phases• Analytic solution
