Two–loop integrals in chiral perturbation theory
We consider chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector at order E 6. In the terminology of the external field technique, the two–loop graphs so generated are of the sunset type. We discuss the evaluation of several of these in the case where the masses of the particles running in the loops are equal. In particular, we present integral representations that are suitable for the evaluation of ...
متن کاملScreened Perturbation Theory to Three Loops
The thermal physics of a massless scalar field with a φ interaction is studied within screened perturbation theory (SPT). In this method the perturbative expansion is reorganized by adding and subtracting a mass term in the lagrangian. We consider several different mass prescriptions that generalize the one-loop gap equation to two-loop order. We calculate the pressure and entropy to three-loop...
متن کاملHard Thermal Loops and Chiral Lagrangians
Chiral symmetry is used as the guiding principle to derive hard thermal loop effects in chiral perturbation theory. This is done by using a chiral invariant background field method for the non-linear sigma model and the WessZumino-Witten lagrangian, with and without external vector and axial vector sources. It is then shown that the n-point hard thermal loop is the leading thermal correction fo...
متن کاملHard Thermal Loops from Transport Processes
Because the running coupling g(T ) of QCD decreases as a function of temperature T , the SU(3) color gauge theory becomes weakly coupled in the high temperature limit. Numerical simulations of the lattice gauge theory with dynamical quarks have shown that the equation of state ǫ(T ) makes a transition from the low-temperature phase, where the effective degrees of freedom are hadrons, to a high ...
متن کاملAbelian hard thermal loops on a lattice
Understanding the behaviour of quantum fields out of equilibrium is important both for cosmology and for heavy ion theory. A particularly interesting example of an event in the early universe in which out-of-equilibrium dynamics played a crucial role is the electroweak phase transition, since it may explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the Universe [1]. Although static equilibrium propertie...
