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…
Quark number susceptibilities from HTL-resummed thermodynamics
J. -P. Blaizot, E. Iancu, A. Rebhan
We compute analytically the diagonal quark number susceptibilities for a quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and zero chemical potential, and compare with recent lattice resul…
HTL quasiparticle picture of the thermodynamics of QCD
A. Rebhan
Starting from a nonperturbative expression for entropy and density obtained from -derivable two-loop approximations to the thermodynamic potential, a quasiparticle model for the…
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…
The thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma: Self-consistent resummations vs. lattice data
J. -P. Blaizot, E. Iancu, A. Rebhan
We discuss a recent approach for overcoming the poor convergence of the perturbative expansion for the thermodynamic potential of QCD. This approach is based on self-consistent app…
