arXiv:hep-ph/9907287 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9474(99)00706-X
Abstract
In this talk I briefly discuss the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma The calculation of the free energy of a hot gluon plasma to leading order in hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory is outlined. The HTL free energy is compared with the weak-coupling expansion and lattice results.
