We consider the energy of the Universe, from the pseudo-tensor point of view(Berman,1981). We find zero values, when the calculations are well-done.The doubts concerning this subject are clarified, with the novel idea that the justification…

We give a simple argument for the cancellation of the log(-k^2) terms (k is the gluon momentum) between the zero-temperature and the temperature-dependent parts of the thermal self-energy.

Hard thermal loop effective actions furnish the building blocks of resummed thermal perturbation theory, which is expected to work as long as the quantities under consideration are not sensitive to the nonperturbative (chromo-)magnetostatic…

We show generally that in thermal gravity, the one-particle irreducible 2-point function depends on the choice of the basic graviton fields. We derive the relevant properties of a physical graviton self-energy, which is independent of the…

We calculate the one-loop thermal self-energy of a neutrino in a constant and homogeneous magnetic field to all orders in the magnetic field strength using Schwinger's proper time method. We obtain the dispersion relation under various…

We investigate the black hole thermodynamics in a "deformed" relativity framework where the energy-momentum dispersion law is Lorentz-violating and the Schwarzchild-like metric is momentum-dependent with a Planckian cut-off. We obtain net…

The total momentum of a thermodynamically closed system is unique, as is the total energy. Nevertheless, there is continuing confusion concerning the correct form of the momentum and the energy-momentum tensor for an electromagnetic field…

It is shown analytically and numerically that the finite-temperature many-body perturbation theory in the grand canonical ensemble has zero radius of convergence at zero temperature when the energy ordering or degree of degeneracy for the…

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…

The thermal self-energy of an electron in a static uniform magnetic field $B$ is calculated to first order in the fine structure constant $\alpha $ and to all orders in $eB$. We use two methods, one based on the Furry picture and another…

Using the real time formalism of field theory at finite temperature and density we have evaluated the in-medium $\omega$ self-energy from baryon and meson loops. We have analyzed in detail the discontinuities across the branch cuts of the…

We discuss the high temperature behavior of retarded thermal loops in static external fields. We employ an analytic continuation of the imaginary time formalism and use a spectral representation of the thermal amplitudes. We show that, to…

An often used rule that the thermal correction to the self-energy is the thermal phase-space times the forward scattering amplitude from target particles is shown to be the leading term in an exact multiple scattering expansion. Starting…

We discuss the use of derivative expansion techniques for the construction of thermal effective potentials. We present a theory for which the thermal bubble is analytic at the origin of the momentum-frequency space, although the internal…

In hot gauge theories, perturbation theory at the scale of the Debye screening mass requires the resummation of the so-called hard thermal loops, which corresponds to using an effective action obtained by integrating out the modes with…

The explicit expressions for the one-loop non-perturbative corrections to the gravitational effective action induced by a scalar field on a stationary gravitational background are obtained both at zero and finite temperatures. The…

Finite temperature corrections to the effective potential and the energy-momentum tensor of a scalar field are computed in a perturbed Minkoswki space-time. We consider the explicit mode decomposition of the field in the perturbed geometry…

The self-force of a point charge moving on a rectilinear trajectory is obtained, with no need of any explicit removal of infinities, as the negative of the time rate of change of the momentum of its retarded self-field.

We introduce the concept of self-energy dispersion as an error bound on local theories and apply it to the two-dimensional Hubbard model on the square lattice at half-filling. Since the self-energy has no single-particle analog and is not…

The approach which relates thermal Green functions to forward scattering amplitudes of on-shell thermal particles is applied to the calculation of the gluon self-energy, in a class of temporal gauges. We show to all orders that, unlike the…
