By using a thermal Finite Energy QCD Sum Rule, we are able to establish the temperature dependence of the $g_{\omega \rho \pi}(T)$ strong coupling. It turns out that this coupling decreases as a function of temperature, vanishing at the…
A thermal QCD Finite Energy Sum Rule (FESR) is used to obtain the temperature dependence of the axial-vector coupling of the nucleon, $g_{A}(T)$. We find that $g_{A}(T)$ is essentially independent of $T$, in the very wide range $0 \leq T…

We summarise recent progress towards the non-perturbative determination of thermal spectral functions for pseudo-scalar mesons in QCD by exploiting constraints imposed by micro-causality at finite temperature. For temperatures not much…
