We calculate the pressure for pure-glue QCD at high temperature to two-loop order using hard-thermal-loop (HTL) perturbation theory. At this order, all the ultraviolet divergences can be absorbed…

We use the scalar model with quartic interaction to illustrate how a nonperturbative variational technique combined with renormalization group (RG) properties efficiently resums perturbative…

Abstract
We apply the optimized perturbation theory (OPT) to resum the perturbative series describing the mass gap of the bidimensional ϕ4 theory in the ℤ2 symmetric phase. Already at NLO (one loop)…

We study the thermodynamics of massless {phi}{sup 4}-theory using screened perturbation theory. In this method, the perturbative expansion is reorganized by adding and subtracting a thermal mass term…

Recent developments of perturbation theory at finite temperature based on effective field theory methods are reviewed. These methods allow the contributions from the different scales to be separated…
Effective field theory approach to high-temperature thermodynamics.

An effective field theory approach is developed for calculating the thermodynamic properties of a field theory at high temperature $T$ and weak coupling and applies it to a massless scalar field with a $\Phi^4$ interaction.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking at finite temperature is studied. We show that for the class of theories discussed, symmetry is restored above a critical temperature βc−1. We determine βc by a…

Abstract We present a detailed analysis of the phase transition in the standard model at finite temperature. Using an improved perturbation theory, where plasma masses are determined from a set of…
Three-loop free energy for high-temperature QED and QCD with fermions.

- 1995
This work analytically computed the free energy density for gauge theories, with fermions, at high temperature and zero chemical potential, which requires the evaluation of three-loop diagrams, and extends the previous result for pure gauge QCD.

In scalar field theory, with a {ital g}{sup 2}{phi}{sup 4} interaction, at temperature T, the complete contribution to the pressure to order is computed, which involves a three-loop thermal diagram.
