Factorizing two-loop vacuum sum-integrals

Andrei I. Davydychev, Pablo Navarrete, York Schröder

We derive analytic results for scalar massless bosonic vacuum sum-integrals at two loops. Building upon a recent factorization proof of massive two-loop vacuum integrals, we are ab…

A new approach to determine the thermodynamics of deconfined matter to high accuracy

Tyler Gorda, Pablo Navarrete, Risto Paatelainen +2

We demonstrate that at finite density and sufficiently high temperatures, phase-quenched (PQ) lattice simulations combined with perturbation theory provide a new precision approach…

Cosmological phase transitions without high-temperature expansions

Pablo Navarrete, Risto Paatelainen, Kaapo Seppänen +1

We introduce a new framework for perturbatively computing equilibrium thermodynamic properties of cosmological phase transitions to high loop orders, using the full four-dimensiona…

Quark matter at four loops: hardships and how to overcome them

A. Kärkkäinen, P. Navarrete, M. Nurmela +3

Knowledge of the pressure of cold and dense quark matter (QM) is known to significantly constrain the equation of state of neutron-star matter, a quantity playing a key role in dec…

Perturbative QCD meets phase quenching: The pressure of cold quark matter

Pablo Navarrete, Risto Paatelainen, Kaapo Seppänen

Nonperturbative inequalities constrain the thermodynamic pressure of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with its phase-quenched version, a Sign-Problem-free theory amenable to lattice tr…
