We compute the free energy density for pure non-Abelian gauge theory at high temperature and zero chemical potential. The three-loop result to $O(g^4)$ is [a lovely formula. Get the paper and print it out.] We examine the sensitivity of…
We compute the free energy density $F$ for gauge theories, with fermions, at high temperature and zero chemical potential. In the expansion $F=T^4 [c_0+c_2 g^2+c_3 g^3+(c'_4\ln g+c_4)g^4+ (c'_5\ln g+c_5)g^5+O(g^6)]$, we determine $c'_5$ and…
We calculate the free energy of a hot gas of electrons and photons to three loops using the hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory reorganization of finite-temperature perturbation theory. We calculate the free energy through three loops by…
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…
We calculate the perturbative value of the free energy in Lattice QCD, up to three loops. Our calculation is performed using Wilson gluons and the Sheikholeslami - Wolhert (clover) improved action for fermions. The free energy is directly…
In 2+1 dimensions, QED becomes exactly solvable for all values of the fermion charge $e$ in the limit of many fermions $N_f\gg 1$. We present results for the free energy density at finite temperature $T$ to next-to-leading-order in large…
Effective-field-theory methods are used to study the high T limit of QCD. These methods unravel the contributions to the free energy of QCD at high temperature from the scales T, gT, and g^2 T. The free energy is explicitly computed to…
We calculate the free energy of SU(N) gauge theories on the lattice, to three loops. Our result, combined with Monte Carlo data for the average plaquette, gives a more precise estimate of the gluonic condensate.
Using a model-independent low-energy effective field theory, we calculate the free energy of three-dimensional antiferromagnets in a combination of mutually perpendicular external magnetic and staggered fields at the…
We study the free energies of heavy quarks calculated from Polyakov loop correlation functions in full 2-flavour QCD using the p4-improved staggered fermion action. A small but finite Baryon number density is included via Taylor expansion…
The free energy of a nonabelian gauge theory at high temperature $T$ can be calculated to order $g^5$ using resummed perturbation theory, but the method breaks down at order $g^6$. A new method is developed for calculating the free energy…
We perform an integral reduction for the 3-loop effective gauge coupling and screening mass of QCD at high temperatures, defined as matching coefficients appearing in the dimensionally reduced effective field theory (EQCD). Expressing both…
We calculate the perturbative value of the Free Energy in Lattice QCD in three dimensions, up to three loops. Our calculation is performed using the Wilson formulation for gluons in SU(N) gauge theories. The Free Energy is directly related…
We study the behaviour of free energies of baryonic systems composed of three heavy quarks on the lattice in SU(3) pure gauge theory at finite temperature. For all temperatures above $T_c$ we find that the connected part of the singlet…
The computation of order $e^4$ and $e^5$ contributions to the pressure of massless quantum electrodynamics at a temperature $T$ is overviewed.
This dissertation is devoted to the study of thermodynamics for quantum gauge theories. The poor convergence of quantum field theory at finite temperature has been the main obstacle in the practical applications of thermal QCD for decades.…
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…
The weak-coupling expansion for thermodynamic quantities in thermal field theories is poorly convergent unless the coupling constant is tiny. We discuss the calculation of the free energy for a hot gas of electrons and photons to three-loop…
Massless quantum electrodynamics is studied at high temperature and zero chemical potential. We compute the Debye screening mass to order $e^{4}$ and the free energy to order $e^{5}$} by an effective field theory approach, recently…
In this talk I briefly discuss the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma The calculation of the free energy of a hot gluon plasma to leading order in hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory is outlined. The HTL free energy is compared with…
