At finite temperature the free energy density of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills can be calculated using resummed perturbation theory through the order $\lambda^{5/2}$. Effective field theory methods provide a useful alternative…
We calculate the resummed perturbative free energy of ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills in four spacetime dimensions ($\text{SYM}_{4,4}$) through second order in the 't Hooft coupling $\lambda$ at finite temperature and zero chemical…
We study the perturbation expansion of the free energy of N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills at finite temperature in powers of 't Hooft's coupling g^2 N in the large N limit. Infrared divergences are controlled by constructing a hierarchy…
The interest in the thermodynamics of supersymmetric Yang-Mills started after Maldacena proposed the duality between string theory on AdS backgrounds and the large-N limit of SYM theories. One of the motivations to study the thermal…
We calculate the resummed perturbative free energy of ${\cal N} = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills in four spacetime dimensions (SYM$_{44}$) to order $\lambda^{5/2}$ in the 't Hooft coupling at finite temperature and zero chemical potential.…
We compute the high-temperature limit of the free energy for four-dimensional N=4 supersymmetric SU(N_c) Yang-Mills theory. At weak coupling we do so for a general ultrastatic background spacetime, and in the presence of slowly-varying…
Using the low energy effective action of the N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) Yang-Mills theory we calculate the free energy at finite temperature, both in the semiclassical region and in the dual monopole/dyon theory. In all regions the free…
Thermodynamics of d=4, N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory is studied with particular attention on perturbative expansion at weak `t Hooft coupling regime and interpolation to strong coupling regime thereof. Non-ideal gas effect to…
We consider maximally supersymmetric U(N) Yang-Mills in (1+p)-dimensions for p < 3. In the 't Hooft large N limit this is conjectured to be dual to N Dp-branes in the decoupling limit. At low temperatures T << \lambda^{1/(3-p)} governed by…
The thermodynamics of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories is studied by computing the two-loop correction to the canonical free energy and to the equation of state for theories with 16, 8 and 4 supercharges in any dimension $4\leq d\leq 10$,…
The AdS/CFT correspondence provides valuable constraints on the possible exact form of various physical quantities in the ${\cal N}=4$ super Yang-Mills theory in the large N limit. We examine the free energy as the expansions in a small as…
The free energy in the weak-coupling phase of two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on a sphere for SO(N) and Sp(N) is evaluated in the 1/N expansion using the techniques of Gross and Matytsin. Many features of Yang-Mills theory are universal…
We study the free energy of \N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in the Higgs phase with a mass scale M corresponding to non-zero v.e.v. of the scalar fields. At zero temperature this theory describes a system of parallel separated extremal…
An effective field theory approach is developed for calculating the thermodynamic properties of a field theory at high temperature $T$ and weak coupling $g$. The effective theory is the 3-dimensional field theory obtained by dimensional…
The free energy of the maximally supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theory at temperature T is expected to scale, in the large N limit, as N^2 T^4 times a function of the 't Hooft coupling, f(g_{YM}^2 N). In the strong coupling limit the free…
The strong coupling behavior of finite temperature free energy in N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills theory has been recently discussed by Gubser, Klebanov and Tseytlin in the context of AdS-SYM correspondence. In this note, we focus on…
Using the standard saddle-point method, we find an explicit relation for the large-N limit of the free energy of an arbitrary generalized 2D Yang-Mills theory in the weak ($A<A_c$) region. In the strong ($A>A_c$) region, we investigate…
We study the two-dimensional Yang--Mills theory with four supercharges in the large-$N$ limit. By using thermal boundary conditions, we analyze the internal energy and the distribution of scalars. We compare their behavior to the maximally…
The thermodynamics of gauge theories on the noncommutative plane is studied in perturbation theory. For U(1) noncommutative Yang-Mills we compute the first quantum correction to the ideal gas free energy density and study their behavior in…
Effective-field-theory methods are used to separate the free energy for a nonabelian gauge theory at high temperature $T$ into the contributions from the momentum scales $T$, $gT$, and $g^2T$, where $g$ is the coupling constant at the scale…
