We summarize recent progress in applying the worldline formalism to the analytic calculation of one-loop N-point amplitudes. This string-inspired approach is well-adapted to avoiding some of the calculational inefficiencies of the standard…

We analyze the role played by temperature in QCD_3 by means of a dimensional interpolating approach. Pure gauge QCD_3 is defined on a strip of finite width L, which acts as an interpolating parameter between two and three dimensions. A…
At finite temperature a breakdown of the hard thermal loop expansion arises whenever external momenta are light-like or tend to very soft scales. A resummation of ladder graphs is important in these cases where the effects of infrared or…
