摘要:We investigate the behaviour of heavy QQ- and QQQ-free energies in SU(3) pure gauge theory at
nite temperature. After stating some general properties of the free energies, we discuss the QQantitriplet
and -sextet channels as well as free energies in different QQQ-channels. We perform
a detailed nite volume scaling analysis of QQ-free energies below and above Tc. Moreover, we
also discuss the relation of the QQ-antitriplet to the Q ¯Q-singlet free energies. A comparison of
the effective running coupling indicates that the r-dependence of the free energies differs by a
factor of two in agreement with the different Casimir factors. We observe that the baryonic free
energies can be decomposed into a sum of two particle interactions.
