We compute the one-loop polarization tensor Π for the on-shell, massless mode in a thermalized SU(2) Yang–Mills theory being in its deconfining phase. Postulating that [Formula: see text], we discuss Π's effect on the low-momentum part of the black-body spectrum at temperatures ~2,…,4 T CMB where T CMB ~ 2.73 K . A table-top experiment is proposed to test the above postulate. As an application, we point out a possible connection with the stability of dilute, cold, and old innergalactic atomic hydrogen clouds. We also compute the two-loop correction to the pressure arising from the instantaneous massless mode in unitary-Coulomb gauge, which formerly was neglected, and present improved estimates for subdominant corrections.

We study the regularization and renormalization of the Yang–Mills theory in the framework of the manifestly invariant formalism, which consists of a higher covariant derivative with an infinitely many Pauli–Villars fields. Unphysical logarithmic divergence, which is the problematic point on the Slavnov method, does not appear in our scheme, and the well-known value of the renormalization group functions are derived. The cancellation mechanism of the quadratic divergence is also demonstrated by calculating the vacuum polarization tensor of the order of Λ0 and Λ-4. These results are the evidence that our method is valid for intrinsically divergent theories and is expected to be available for the theory which contains the quantity depending on the space–time dimensions, like supersymmetric gauge theories.

We compute the two-point correlation of the energy density for the massless mode in deconfining SU(2) Yang–Mills thermodynamics and point towards a possible application for the physics of cold, dilute, and stable clouds of atomic hydrogen within the Milky Way.
