We demonstrate that to calculate the self-energy of a heavy quark in the heavy quark limit (or the heavy fermion limit in what is called the Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory), the use of standard dimensional regularization provides only…

The application of generalized Kramers-Kronig relations, the so-called Leontovich relations, to thermal field theory is discussed. Medium effects contained in the full, thermal propagators can easily be taken into account by this method. As…
Fragmentation of heavy quarks into heavy-flavoured hadrons receives both perturbative and non-perturbative contributions. We consider perturbative QCD corrections to heavy quark production in $e^+e^-$ collisions to next-to-next-to-leading…

Quark number susceptibilities as computed in lattice QCD are commonly believed to provide insights into the microscopic structure of QCD matter, in particular its degrees of freedom. We generalize a previously constructed partonic…

The interactions of charm and bottom quarks in a Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) are evaluated using a thermodynamic 2-body T-matrix. We specifically focus on heavy-quark (HQ) interactions with thermal gluons with an input potential motivated by…
We develop a procedure to analytically calculate higher-order contributions to the high-temperature real-time static potential in QCD. It is based on the introduction of a semi-hard external scale, which lies between the hard scale (the…
We study the thermodynamic geometry arising from the free energy for the 2- and 3-flavor finite temperature hot QCD near the critical temperature. We develop a geometric notion for QCD thermodynamics, relating it with the existing…
I discuss the motivation for resummation of the effects of initial-state soft gluon radiation, to all orders in the strong coupling strength, for processes in which the near-threshold region in the partonic subenergy is important. I…
We investigate the Hall effect in two different theoretical models of strongly correlated systems: a system made of weakly coupled Luttinger liquids, in the presence of umklapp scattering, and the 2D triangular lattice, with…
We present matching factors for $Z_q$ calculated perturbatively at the one-loop level with improved staggered quarks. We calculate $Z_q$ with HYP-smeared staggered quarks and Symanzik-improved gluons using both RI-MOM and RI$'$-MOM schemes.…
