Conventional finite-temperature perturbation theory in which propagators have poles at $k^{2}=m^{2}$ is shown to break down at the two-loop level for self-interacting scalar fields. The breakdown is avoided by using free thermal propagators…

For a deconfining thermal SU(2) Yang-Mills plasma we discuss the role of (anti)calorons in introducing non-thermal behavior effectively described in terms of Planck's quantum of action $\hbar$. This non-thermality cancels exactly between…
