Description

The effective Polyakov loop theory reproduces the main features of the Yang-Mills theory and QCD at finite temperature. A systematic derivation of the effective theory is a combined strong coupling and hopping parameter expansion. It includes a systematic ordering principle of the effective couplings. I will review this approach as well as results and possible applications. Furthermore, I will discuss how non-perturbative corrections to the couplings can be derived from simulations of the full theory.
