Abstract
In high temperature SU(2) gluodynamics, the condensation of the zero component gauge field potential A_0 =const and its gauge-fixing dependence are investigated. A_0 is mutually related with Polyakov's loop <L>. The two-loop effective potential W(A_0,xi) is recalculated in the background relativistic R_xi gauge. It depends on the parameter xi, has a nontrivial minimum and satisfies Nielsen's identity. These signs mean gauge invariance of the condensation phenomenon. Following the idea of Belyaev, we express W(A_0,xi) in terms of <L>. The obtained effective potential of order parameter differs from that derived by this author. It is independent of xi and has a nontrivial minimum position. Hence the A_0 condensation follows. We show that the equation relating A_0 and (A_0)|_(classical) coincides with the special characteristic orbit in the (A)$-plain along which the W(A_0,xi) is xi-independent. In this way the link between these two gauge invariant descriptions is established. The minimum value of the Polyakov loop is calculated. Comparison with results of other authors is given.
