Comments on Three regimes of QCD by L.Glozman


Abstract in English

There are no three regimes of QCD, as speculated in that paper. There are only two, separated by already well known $T_csim 155, MeV$. Above it electric interactions are screened rather then confined. Magnetic ones remain confined all the way to $Trightarrow infty$. Spectrum of mesonic screening masses is there, but they do not represent real masses. At high $T$ they correspond to heavy quarkonia of 2+1 d gauge theory, which is well known to be a confining theory. There is no reason to expect any transition unbinding them, at $Tsim 1, GeV$ as claimed. I make calculation of correction to screening masses in 2+1d at high temperature including spatial screening tension and find results in agreement with recent lattice data.
