It has been known for some time that the entropy of hot QCD is well reproduced by weak coupling techniques. These do not identify with perturbation theory, known to have poor convergence properties, but involve resumming the physics of hard…

Perturbation theory, as well as most thermal field resummation methods widely used to study finite-temperature quantum field theories, presents a non-negligible renormalization scale dependence. To address this limitation, we propose an…
