Abstract
We discuss the use of strong coupling expansions for Yang-Mills theory and QCD at finite temperature and density. In particular we consider the onset of temperature effects for the free energy and screening masses, derive the hadron resonance gas model from first principles and compute the weakening of the deconfinement transition with chemical potential.
