TY - THES AB - We have calculated the Polyakov loop in representations D=3,6,8,10,15a,15s,24,27 and diquark and baryonic Polyakov loop correlation functions with fundamental sources in SU(3) pure gauge theory and 2-flavour QCD with staggered quarks and Qbar Q-singlet correlation functions with sources in the fundamental and adjoint representation in SU(3) pure gauge theory. We have tested a new renormalisation procedure for the Polyakov loop and extracted the adjoint Polyakov loop below T_c, binding energy of the gluelump and string breaking distances. Moreover, we could show Casimir scaling for the Polyakov loop in different representations in SU(3) pure gauge theory above T_c. Diquark antitriplet and baryonic singlet free energies are related to the Qbar Q-singlet free energies by the Casimir as well.
