Abstract

A resummed perturbative expansion is used to obtain the self-energy in the high-temperature \(g^2ϕ^4\) field theory model up to order . From this the zero momentum pole of the effective propagator is evaluated to determine the induced thermal mass and damping rate for the bosons in the plasma to order . The calculations are performed in the imaginary time formalism and a simple diagrammatic analysis is used to identify the relevant diagrams at each order. Results are compared with similar real-time calculations found in the literature.
