Weak-coupling techniques for the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma
Anton Rebhan
We describe some of the recent progress in the calculation of thermodynamic quantities in QCD at high temperatures and densities by weak-coupling techniques and extrapolation to re…
Hard thermal loops and QCD thermodynamics
A. Rebhan
These lectures give an introduction to thermal perturbation theory, hard thermal loops, and their use in a nonperturbative, approximately self-consistent resummation of the thermod…
Thermal Gauge Field Theories
Anton Rebhan
The real- and imaginary-time-formalisms of thermal field theory and their extension to gauge theories is reviewed. Questions of gauge (in-)dependence are discussed in detail, in pa…
Resumming the pressure
Anton Rebhan
The convergence properties of the resummed thermal perturbation series for the thermodynamic pressure are investigated by comparison with the exact results obtained in large-N phi^…
Improved hard-thermal-loop effective actions
A. Rebhan
Hard thermal loop effective actions furnish the building blocks of resummed thermal perturbation theory, which is expected to work as long as the quantities under consideration are…
Hard thermal loops near the light-cone
A. Rebhan
In hot gauge theories, perturbation theory at the scale of the Debye screening mass requires the resummation of the so-called hard thermal loops, which corresponds to using an effe…
