Hard thermal loop resummation techniques in hot gauge theories

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

A review is given of the hard thermal loop resummation methods initiated by Braaten, Pisarski, and others. We describe some successes of these techniques as well as instances where modifications are necessary. Some possible directions where these modifications may lead are also discussed. [Review talk given at the 4th workshop on thermal field theories held in Dalian, China]
