Description

This latest edition enhances the material of the first edition with a derivation of the value of the action for each of the Harrington – Shepard calorons/anticalorons that are relevant for the emergence of the thermal ground state. Also included are discussions of the caloron center versus its periphery, the role of the thermal ground state in U(1) wave propagation, photonic particle – wave duality, and calculational intricacies and book-keeping related to one-loop scattering of massless modes in the deconfining phase of an SU(2) Yang – Mills theory. Moreover, a derivation of the temperature – redshift relation of the CMB in deconfining SU(2) Yang – Mills thermodynamics and its application to explaining an apparent early re-ionization of the Universe are given. Finally, a mechanism of mass generation for cosmic neutrinos is proposed.
