Enhancing band convergence is an effective way to optimize the thermoelectric (TE) properties of materials. However, the temperature-induced band renormalization is commonly ignored. By employing the recently-developed electron-phonon…
We present three-loop formulas for the additive renormalization constant A(u,epsilon) and associated renormalization group function B(u) for the specific heat of the O(n) symmetric phi^4 model. Using this result, we obtain also the…
We introduce a general technique to compute finite temperature electronic properties by a novel covariant formulation of the electronic partition function. By using a rigorous variational upper bound to the free energy we are led to the…
We report a fully {\it ab-initio} calculation of the temperature dependence of the electronic band structure of PbTe. We address two main features relevant for the thermoelectric figure of merit: the temperature variations of the direct gap…
In order for an inflationary universe to evolve into a hot universe, a process known as reheating is required. However, the precise mechanism of reheating remains unknown. We show that if the reheating is triggered by thermal dissipation…
We review different aspects of field theory at zero and finite temperature, related to the theory of phase transitions. We discuss different renormalization conditions for the effective potential at zero temperature, emphasizing in…
We study the interplay of interaction, confining potential and effects of finite temperature at the edge of a quantum Hall liquid. Our exact diagonalization calculation indicates that edge reconstruction occurs in the fractional quantum…
The status of precision calculations for the processes e+e- --> WW --> 4 fermions is reviewed, paying particular attention to questions of gauge invariance and recent progress concerning photonic radiative corrections.
We present a method to obtain spectral functions at finite temperature from the Functional Renormalization Group. Our method is based on a thermodynamically consistent truncation of the flow equations for 2-point functions with analytically…
We study the finite size corrections for the magnetization and the internal energy of the 2d Ising model in a magnetic field by using transfer matrix techniques. We compare these corrections with the functional form recently proposed by…
A physical system connected to two thermal reservoirs at different temperatures is said to act as a heat rectifier when it is able to bias the heat current in a given direction, similarly to an electronic diode. We propose to quantify the…
We estimate the power corrections (infrared renormalon contributions) to the coefficient functions for the transverse, longitudinal and asymmetric fragmentation functions in $e^+e^-$ annihilation, using a method based on the analysis of…
The performance of two recent {\em ab initio} computational thermochemistry schemes, W1 and W2 theory [J.M.L. Martin and G. de Oliveira, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 1843 (1999}], is assessed for an enlarged sample of thermochemical data consisting…
We found a consistent equation of reheating after inflation, which shows that for small quantum fluctuations the frequencies of resonance are slighted different from the standard ones. Quantum interference is taken into account and we found…
It is shown that the transition amplitudes of radiative electroweak processes like $e^-e^+ \to \nu_e \ol{\nu}_e \ga$, $\ga e^- \to \nu_e \ol{\nu}_e e^-$, and $\nu_e e^- \to \nu_e e^- \ga$ can be reduced and factorized into simpler forms in…
Ultraviolet regime in quantum theory with horizons, contrary to ordinary theory, depends on the temperature of the system due to additional surface divergences in the effective action. We evaluate their general one-loop structure paying…
In this paper a resummation method inspired by the renormalization-group improvement is applied to the one-loop effective potential (EP) in massive scalar $\phi^4$ model at $T\neq0$. By investigating the phase structure of the model at $T…
"Quasi-harmonic" (QH) theory should not be considered a low-order theory of anharmonic effects in crystals, but should be recognized as an important effect separate from "true" anharmonicity. The original and widely used meaning of QH…
We discuss how to implement an ``environmentally friendly'' renormalization in the context of finite temperature field theory. Environmentally friendly renormalization provides a method for interpolating between the different effective…
Magnetic particle hyperthermia, in which colloidal nanostructures are exposed to an alternating magnetic field, is a promising approach to cancer therapy. Unfortunately, the clinical efficacy of hyperthermia has not yet been optimized.…
