The thermodynamical potential of relativistic gauge theories can be consistently resummed in terms of HTL propagators, which is, without being restricted to it, exemplified for the case of hot QED. The nonperturbative resummation is gauge…

I discuss finite-temperature gauge theories as a framework to describe the quark-gluon plasma in the regime of high temperature where the gauge coupling is small, $g << 1$. I review recent progress in the understanding of the long-range…
