We present the working equations for a reduced-scaling method of evaluating the perturbative triples (T) energy in coupled-cluster theory, through the tensor hypercontraction (THC) of the triples amplitudes ($t_{ijk}^{abc}$). Through our…
We study the 2-loop resummed propagator in hot $g^2\phi^4$ theory. The propagator has a cut along the whole real axis in the complex energy plane, but for small $g$, the spectral density is sharply peaked around the plasmon. The dispersion…
We calculate the Debye mass of massless \phi^4-theory to order g^6 at weak coupling. The contributions to the Debye mass arise from the hard momentum scale of order T and the soft momentum scale of order gT. Effective field theory methods…
We compute the renormalized trajectory of $\phi^4_4$-theory by perturbation theory in a running coupling. We use an exact infinitesimal renormalization group. The expansion is put into a form which is manifestly independent of the scale…
Well known from the sixties, the pressure of e.g. massless phi-four theory may be written as a series of 2PI-diagrams (skeletons) with the lines fully dressed. Varying the self-energy Pi in this expression, it turns into a functional U[Y]…
We construct a non-perturbative method to investigate the phase structure of the scalar theory at finite temperature. The derivative of the effective potential with respect to the mass square is expressed in terms of the full propagator.…
We analyze the dependence of heavy quark free energies on the baryon chemical potential (mu_b) in 2-flavour QCD using improved (p4) staggered fermions with a bare quark mass of m/T = 0.4. By performing a 6th order Taylor expansion in the…
We use the scalar model with quartic interaction to illustrate how a nonperturbative variational technique combined with renormalization group (RG) properties efficiently resums perturbative expansions in thermal field theories. The…
The non-commutative version of the euclidean $g^2\phi^4$ theory is considered. By using Wilsonian flow equations the ultraviolet renormalizability can be proved to all orders in perturbation theory. On the other hand, the infrared sector…
We calculate the Debye screening mass in thermal, dense and magnetized QCD matter in the frame of resummed perturbation theory. In the limit of zero temperature, when the Landau energy level and Fermi surface of quarks match each other…
We discuss reorganizing finite temperature perturbation theory using hard-thermal-loop (HTL) perturbation theory in order to improve the convergence of successive perturbative approximations to the free energy of a gauge theory. We briefly…
The exact solutions for linear cosmological perturbations which have been obtained for collisionless relativistic matter within thermal field theory are extended to a self-interacting case. The two-loop contributions of scalar…
The optimized linear $\delta$-expansion is applied to the $\lambda \phi^4$ theory at high temperature. Using the imaginary time formalism the thermal mass is evaluated perturbatively up to order $\delta^2$. A variational procedure…
The physics of electric and magnetic screening in non-Abelian finite temperature field theory is closely related to the non-perturbative properties of the corresponding three-dimensional effective theories which are confining. I discuss…
We report the binomial multiplicative model for low impact energy fragmentation. Impact fragmentation experiments were performed for low impact energy region, and it was found that the weighted mean mass is scaled by the pseudo control…
The effective potential for the local composite operator $\phi^{2}(x)$ in $\lambda \phi^{4}$-theory is investigated at finite temperature in an approach based on path-integral linearisation of the $\phi^4 $-interaction. At zero temperature,…
The temperature renormalization group equation (TRGE) is compared with a diagrammatic expansion for the $(\phi^4)_4$-theory. It is found that the one-loop TRGE resums the leading powers of temperature for the effective mass. A two-loop…
The question of the asymptotic form of the perturbation expansion in scalar field theories is reconsidered. Renewed interest in the computation of terms in the epsilon-expansion, used to calculate critical exponents, has been frustrated by…
We study to what extent the three-dimensional SU(N)+adjoint Higgs theory can be used as an effective theory for finite temperature SU(N) gauge theory, with N=2,3. The parameters of the 3d theory are computed in 2-loop perturbation theory in…
Based on the trace anomaly for the energy-momentum tensor, an effective theory for the thermodynamics of the deconfining phase, and by assuming the asymptotic behavior to be determined by one-loop perturbation theory we compute the…
