Abstract

We study massless g2Φ4g^2\Phi^4-theory at high temperature and with zero chemical potential. Using modern effective field theory methods,% recently developed by Braaten and Nieto, we derive the screening mass squared to order g5g^5. It is demonstrated that the result is renormalization group invariant to this order in the coupling constant. Renormalization group methods are used to sum up leading logarithms of gg.
