The nonabelian screening potential is calculated in the temporal axial
gauge. The Slavnov-Taylor identity is used to construct the three-glu
on vertex function from the inverse gluon propagator. After solving th
e Schwinger-Dyson equation beyond leading order we find that the obtai
ned momentum dependence of the gluon self-energy at high temperature d
oes not correspond to an attractive QCD-Debye potential, but instead i
t is repulsive and power behaved (congruent-to 1/r6) at large distance
.
