Non-Abelian string melting and thermalization in an open lattice gauge theory
Open-system lattice gauge theory (LGT) has so far been developed predominantly in Abelian settings, leaving open how genuinely non-Abelian gauge structure reshapes dissipative real-time dynamics. Here, we study a $1+1$D SU(2) Yang--Mills LGT with dynamical matter coupled to a thermal scalar environment through a gauge-...
