We demonstrate how to compute real-time Green's functions for a class of finite temperature field theories from their AdS gravity duals. In particular, we reproduce the two-by-two Schwinger-Keldysh matrix propagator from a gravity…
Establishing a description for confinement is not something simple. In order to try to understand a little about this phenomenon, we will explore the thermodynamics of models that try to describe it in terms of propagators with violation of…

A recently proposed generating functional allows the construction of the full set of n-point Green functions in QCD at high temperature and at distances larger than 1/gT. One may then learn how the system maintains its thermal equilibrium…
We calculate, to one-loop order, the ln (T) contributions of 3-point functions in the \phi^3 and Yang-Mills theory at high temperature. We find that these terms are Lorentz invariant and have the same structure as the ultraviolet divergent…
