Comparing different hard-thermal-loop approaches to quark number susceptibilities

Abstract

We compare our previously proposed hard-thermal-loop (HTL) resummed calculation of quark number susceptibilities using a self-consistent two-loop approximation to the quark density with a recent calculation of the same quantity at the one-loop level in a variant of HTL-screened perturbation theory. Besides pointing out conceptual problems with the latter approach, we show that it severely over-includes the leading-order interaction effects while including none of the plasmon term which after all is the reason to construct improved resummation schemes.
