Color path-integral Monte Carlo simulations of quark–gluon plasma

Thermodynamic properties of a strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma (QGP) of constituent quasiparticles are studied by a color path-integral Monte Carlo simulations (CPIMC). For our simulations we have presented QGP partition function in the form of color path integral with new relativistic measure instead of Gaussian one used in Feynman and Wiener path integrals. For integration over color variable we have also developed procedure of sampling color variables according to the group SU(3) Haar measure. It is shown that this method is able to reproduce the available quantum lattice chromodynamics (QCD) data. -- Highlights: ► Thermodynamic properties of a strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma. ► Simulations are doing by a color path-integral Monte Carlo approach. ► Approach takes into account the Fermi (Bose) statistics of quarks (gluons). ► This method is able to reproduce the available QCD lattice data.
