  Recent work by Chernodub and Ilgenfritz has uncovered non-trivial temperature
dependence in the electric-magnetic asymmetry in the dimension 2 condensate.
This asymmetry measures the difference between the spatial and the temporal
components of the <A^2> condensate. Lattice computations have shown very
interesting phenomena. The asymmetry shows a jump at the deconfinement phase
transition, beyond which it approaches its perturbative value. At temperatures
lower than the critical temperature, it shows an exponential behavior with in
the exponent a mass smaller than the lowest glueball mass. In this talk we
present research done on this asymmetry, using a generalization of analytical
methods developed to study <A^2>. The purpose is to shed more insight on the
findings of Chernodub and Ilgenfritz.
