  Some features of the high temperature gluonic matter, such as the breakdown
of the fundamental group symmetry by the kinetic energy, the screening of test
quarks by some unusual gluon states and the explanation of the absence of
isolated quarks in the vacuum without the help of infinities are presented in
this talk. Special attention is paid to separate the dynamical input inferred
from the numerical results of lattice gauge theory from the kinematics.
