It is shown that up to an over all scale the lowest-order QCD corrections to $t\to H^+b$ and to $t\to W^+b$ are the same in the heavy top limit. Asymptotically, they are given by $-{4\alpha_s\over 3\pi}[{\pi^2\over 3}-{5\over 4}]$,…

I address the effect that a temperature dependent potential has on the suppression of heavy quarkonia states in deconfined hadronic matter. I focus on a simple medium: a homogenous, fixed temperature and deconfined system with a finite…
