Thermodynamics of QCD at large quark chemical potential
Andreas Gerhold, Andreas Ipp, Anton Rebhan
We review the existing weak-coupling results on the thermodynamic potential of deconfined QCD at small and large quark chemical potential and compare with results from lattice gaug…
The entropy of hot QCD at large N_f: Successfully testing weak coupling techniques
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Andreas Ipp, Anton Rebhan +1
It has been known for some time that the entropy of hot QCD is well reproduced by weak coupling techniques. These do not identify with perturbation theory, known to have poor conve…
Hard-loop dynamics of non-abelian plasma instabilities
Michael Strickland
I discuss recent advances in the understanding of non-equilibrium gauge field dynamics in plasmas which have particle distributions which are locally anisotropic in momentum space.…
Asymptotic thermal quark masses and the entropy of QCD in the large-N_f limit
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Andreas Ipp, Anton Rebhan +1
We study the thermodynamics of QCD in the limit of large flavor number (N_f) and test the proposal to resum the physics of hard thermal loops (HTL) through a nonperturbative expres…
Study of the gluon propagator in the large-N_f limit at finite temperature and chemical potential for weak and strong couplings
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Andreas Ipp, Anton Rebhan
At finite temperature and chemical potential, the leading-order (hard-thermal-loop) contributions to the gauge-boson propagator lead to momentum-dependent thermal masses for propag…
Dynamics of Quark-Gluon-Plasma Instabilities in Discretized Hard-Loop Approximation
Anton Rebhan, Paul Romatschke, Michael Strickland
Non-Abelian plasma instabilities have been proposed as a possible explanation for fast isotropization of the quark-gluon plasma produced in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. We st…
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…
BPS saturation of the N=4 monopole by infinite composite-operator renormalization
A. Rebhan, R. Schöfbeck, P. van Nieuwenhuizen +1
Quantum corrections to the magnetic central charge of the monopole in N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are free from the anomalous contributions that were crucial for BPS satur…
Fermionic dispersion relations in ultradegenerate relativistic plasmas beyond leading logarithmic order
A. Gerhold, A. Rebhan
We determine the dispersion relations of fermionic quasiparticles in ultradegenerate plasmas by a complete evaluation of the on-shell hard-dense-loop-resummed one-loop fermion self…
