  Gribov quantization is a method to improve the infrared dynamics of
Yang-Mills theory. We study the thermodynamics and transport properties of a
plasma consisting of gluons whose propagator is improved by the Gribov
prescription. We first construct thermodynamics of Gribov plasma using the
gauge invariant Gribov dispersion relation for interacting gluons. When the
Gribov parameter in the dispersion relation is temperature dependent, one
expects a mean field correction to the Boltzmann equation. We formulate
covariant kinetic theory for the Gribov plasma and determine the mean-field
contribution in the Boltzmann equation. This leads to a quasiparticle like
framework with a bag correction to pressure and energy density which mimics
confinement. The temperature dependence of the Gribov parameter and bag
pressure is fixed by matching with lattice results for a system of gluons.
Finally we calculate the temperature dependence of the transport coefficients,
i.e., bulk and shear viscosities.
