We discuss the recent development of effective field theories for quarkonium at finite temperature.
Two different theoretical formulations of the finite temperature effects have been recently proposed for integrable field theories. In order to decide which of them is the correct one, we perform for a particular model an explicit check of…
We study the question of generalizing light-front field theories to finite temperature. We show that the naive generalization has serious problems and we identify the source of the difficulty. We provide a proper generalization of these…

Finite temperature correlation functions in integrable quantum field theories are formulated only in terms of the usual, temperature-independent form factors, and certain thermodynamic filling fractions which are determined from the…

We establish a connection between finite fields and finite dynamical systems. We show how this connection can be used to shed light on some problems in finite dynamical systems and in particular, in linear systems.
We treat the model which describes "extreme black holes" moving slowly. We derive an effective lagrangian in the low energy for this model and then investigate a statistical behavior of "extreme black holes" in the finite temperature.
This is an introduction to the theory of normal bases of finite fields. The first few chapters cover a wide range of topics on the theory of normal bases of finite fields. Most standard definitions and results, including proofs are given.…

The first part is expository: it explains how finite fields may be used to prove theorems on infinite fields by a reduction mod p process. The second part gives a variant of P.Smith's fixed point theorem which applies in any characteristic.
In this paper, we study numerical approximations of the ground states in finite temperature density functional theory. We formulate the problem with respect to the density matrices and justify the convergence of the finite dimensional…
