We study the nature of the finite-temperature chiral transition in QCD with N_f light quarks in the adjoint representation (aQCD). Renormalization-group arguments show that the transition can be continuous if a stable fixed point exists in…
We consider the static anomalous Cooper loop for the electron gas of arbitrary spatial dimensionality, D. This object enters the mean-field equation for the superconducting temperature, T_c. The closed expression in r- space is found at T=0…

We remind that the non-uniformity in the temperature of the $1/N$ expansion for dimensionful quantities pointed out in Patrascioiu and Seiler's paper is not only compatible with but is predicted by asymptotic freedom, and it is present in…
The strong coupling limit ($\beta_{gauge}=0$) of lattice QCD with staggered fermions enjoys the same non-perturbative properties as continuum QCD, namely confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. In contrast to the situation at weak…

We extend to finite temperature the fidelity approach to quantum phase transitions (QPTs). This is done by resorting to the notion of mixed-state fidelity that allows one to compare two density matrices corresponding to two different…
The heat kernel expansion for field theory at finite temperature is constructed. It is based on the imaginary time formalism and applies to generic Klein-Gordon operators in flat space-time. Full gauge invariance is manifest at each order…
