Abstract
The two-gluon and three-gluon condensates at finite temperature are calculated in the framework of the grand partition function for a weak-interacting instanton medium of a disordered phase. The interference parts of both chromomagnetic and chromoelectric two-gluon condensates are found to be small but still significant for a quantitative determination of the value of the condensates at very low temperature, and negligible at the temperature above 1.5ΛMS, with respect to their non-interference ones. The interference parts of the three-gluon condensates are found to be quite small even at very low temperature. With the QCD scale parameter fixed by the value of the Lorentz invariant two-gluon condensate at zero temperature, the value of the three-gluon condensate at zero temperature is found to be co-incident with the phenomenological estimate. The values of the gluon condensates decrease when temperature increases, and are negligible when the temperature goes beyond 2.5ΛMS in the case of the SUc(3) pure gauge theory.
