QCD and instantons at finite temperature
- D. Gross, R. Pisarski, L. Yaffe
- Physics
- 1981
The current understanding of the behavior of quantum chromodynamics at finite temperature is presented. Perturbative methods are used to explore the high-temperature dynamics. At sufficiently high…
Remarks on the Chiral Phase Transition in Chromodynamics
- R. Pisarski, F. Wilczek
- Materials Science
- 15 January 1984
The phase transition restoring chiral symmetry at finite temperatures is considered in a linear $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ model. For three or more massless flavors, the perturbative…

High-temperature Yang-Mills theories and three-dimensional quantum chromodynamics
- T. Appelquist, R. Pisarski
- Physics

We demonstrate that for sufficiently high temperature T the behavior of any four-dimensional gauge theory with small coupling constant a, at distances beyond the electrical Debye screening length…
Fuzzy Bags and Wilson Lines
- R. Pisarski
- Physics
- 15 December 2006
I start with an elementary observation about the pressure in the deconfined phase of a SU(3) gauge theory without quarks. This suggests a ``fuzzy'' bag model for the analogous pressure in QCD, with…
Possibility of spontaneous parity violation in hot QCD
- D. Kharzeev, R. Pisarski, M. Tytgat
- Physics, Materials Science
- 2 April 1998
We argue that for QCD in the limit of a large number of colors, the axial $\mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetry of massless quarks is effectively restored at the deconfining phase transition. If this transition…
Chiral-symmetry breaking in three-dimensional electrodynamics
- R. Pisarski
- Physics
- 15 May 1984
When there are many flavors of massless fermions, both three-dimensional electrodynamics, and a supersymmetric variant thereof, each spontaneously break chiral symmetry. For the latter, this occurs…
Z(N) interface tension in a hot SU(N) gauge theory

Small, dense quark stars from perturbative QCD
- E. Fraga, R. Pisarski, J. Schaffner-Bielich
- Physics
- 14 January 2001
As a model for nonideal behavior in the equation of state of QCD at high density, we consider cold quark matter in perturbation theory. To second order in the strong coupling constant…
