At high temperature, every $(d+1)$-dimensional theory can be reformulated as an effective theory in $d$ dimensions. We test the numerical accuracy of this Dimensional Reduction for (3+1)-dimensional SU(2) by comparing perturbatively…
The free energy for QCD at high temperature $T$ is calculated to order $g^5$ using effective-field-theory methods to separate the contributions from the momentum scales $T$ and $gT$. The effects of the scale $T$ enter through the…

We compute the Schroedinger functional (SF) for the case of pure SU(3) gauge theory at two-loop order in lattice perturbation theory. This allows us to extract the three-loop beta-function in the SF-scheme. These results are required to…
This talk offers a brief review of the determination of coupling constants in the framework of dimensionally reduced effective field theories for thermal QCD, specializing on its gluonic sector. Interestingly, higher-order operators that go…
For N>4 there is a first order bulk transition that cleanly separates the strong and weak coupling regimes of SU(N) lattice gauge theories with the plaquette action. We find that in this case the calculated string tension can be readily…
Precision tests of QCD perturbation theory are not readily available from experimental data. The main reasons are systematic uncertainties due to the confinement of quarks and gluons, as well as kinematical constraints which limit the…

An extended version of 4-d SU(2) lattice gauge theory is considered in which different inverse coupling parameters are used, $\beta_H=4/g_{H}^2$ for plaquettes which are purely spacelike, and $\beta_V$ for those which involve the Euclidean…
