The Nonabelian Screening Potential Beyond the Leading Order

Abstract

The nonabelian screening potential is calculated in the temporal axial gauge. The Slavnov-Taylor identity is used to construct the three-gluon vertex function from the inverse gluon propagator. After solving the Schwinger - Dyson equation beyond leading order we find that the obtained momentum dependence of the gluon self-energy at high temperature does not correspond to an attractive QCD - Debye potential, but instead it is repulsive and power behaved ($\simeq 1/r^6$) at large distance.
