The successive perturbative estimates of the pressure of QCD at high temperature T show no sign of convergence, unless the coupling constant g is unrealistically small. Exploiting known results of an effective field theory which separates…
It is generally known for $\mathrm{U}(N)$ gauge theory at finite temperature that phase transitions are manifested by taking the large-$N$ limit. Since the large-$N$ theory undergoes two thermodynamic phase transitions, a nontrivial…

High energy heavy-ion collisions in laboratory produce a form of matter that can test Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions, at high temperatures. One of the exciting possibilities is the existence of…
It has long been known that QCD undergoes a deconfining phase transition at high temperature. One of the consequent features of this new, quark-gluon phase is that hadrons become unbounded. In this talk meson correlation functions at…

The perturbative series for finite-temperature field theories has very poor convergence properties and one needs a way to reorganize it. In this talk, I review two ways of reorganizing the perturbative series for field theories at finite…
