We repeat and correct the recent calculation of the thermodynamic potential of hot QCD in the limit of large number N_f of fermions. The new result for the thermal pressure turns out to agree significantly better with results obtained from…

It has been known for some time that the entropy of hot QCD is well reproduced by weak coupling techniques. These do not identify with perturbation theory, known to have poor convergence properties, but involve resumming the physics of hard…

In this doctoral thesis we present the exact large $N_f$ calculation at next-to-leading order of the thermal interaction pressure of deconfined QCD for small and large quark chemical potential where the presence of the Landau pole is…

We extend the previously obtained results for the thermodynamic potential of hot QCD in the limit of large number of fermions to non-vanishing chemical potential. We give exact results for the thermal pressure in the entire range of…

We compute the pressure of a finite density quark-gluon plasma at zero temperature to leading order in hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory, which includes the fermionic excitations and Landau damping. The result is compared with the…

The perturbative expansion of the pressure of hot QCD is computed here to order g^6ln(g) in the presence of finite quark chemical potentials. In this process all two- and three-loop one-particle irreducible vacuum diagrams of the theory are…

We present the non-perturbative computation of the entropy density in QCD for temperatures ranging from 3 GeV up to the electro-weak scale, using $N_f=3$ flavours of massless O$(a)$-improved Wilson fermions. We adopt a new strategy designed…

We present preliminary results towards a fully non-perturbative determination of the equation of state of QCD at very high-temperatures, $T\approx 3-80\,{\rm GeV}$. The key ingredient is the lattice formulation of QCD in a moving reference…

Building on the experience of [1], we develop a formalism to construct operators for higher derivatives of the pressure in hot QCD with respect to the quark chemical potential $\mu$. We provide formulae for the operators up to the sixth…

The gluon and quark collisional widths in hot QCD plasmas are discussed with emphasis on temperatures near Tc, where the coupling is large. Considering the effect on the entropy, which is known from lattice calculations, it is argued that…

The free energy density, or pressure, of QCD has at high temperatures an expansion in the coupling constant g, known so far up to order g^5. We compute here the last contribution which can be determined perturbatively, g^6 ln(1/g), by…

We present large $N_f$ QCD/QED as a test bed for improved pressure calculations, show how to apply the hints obtained on optimized renormalization scales at large $N_f$ to finite $N_f=2$, and compare the results to recent lattice data.

The gluon collisional width in hot QCD plasmas is discussed with emphasis on temperatures near $T_c$, where the coupling is large. Considering its effect on the entropy, which is known from lattice calculations, it is argued that the width,…

The Equation of State of Quantum Chromodynamics with $N_f=3$ flavours is determined non-perturbatively with a precision of about $0.5\%-1.0\%$ in the range of temperatures between 3 GeV and 165 GeV. The computation is carried out by…

This paper is a slightly modified version of the introductory part of a doctoral dissertation that contained also three original articles, hep-ph/0212283, hep-ph/0305183 and hep-ph/0311323. Our purpose is to review the history and present…

The QCD pressure is a most fundamental quantity, for which lattice data is available up to a few times the critical temperature $T_c$. Perturbation theory, even at very high temperatures, has serious convergence problems. Combining…

We calculate the equation of state of strongly coupled Hamiltonian lattice QCD at finite density by constructing a solution to the equation of motion corresponding to an effective Hamiltonian using Wilson fermions. We find that up to and…

In this paper we calculate the pressure of pure lattice Yang-Mills theories and lattice QCD with heavy quarks by means of strong coupling expansions. Dynamical fermions are introduced with a hopping parameter expansion, which also allows…

We study the thermodynamics of QCD in the limit of large flavor number (N_f) and test the proposal to resum the physics of hard thermal loops (HTL) through a nonperturbative expression for the entropy obtained from a Phi-derivable two-loop…

The pressure of hot QCD has recently been determined to the last perturbatively computable order g^6 ln(g) by Kajantie et al. using three-dimensional effective theories. A similar method is applied here to the pressure in the presence of…
