Consistent HTL resummation of the thermodynamical potential
نویسنده
چکیده
The thermodynamical potential of relativistic plasmas with gauge interaction can be consistently resummed in terms of HTL propagators, which is, without being restricted to it, exemplified for the case of hot QED. The nonperturbative resummation obtained in a Φ-derivable approach is gauge independent, free of thermal divergences and, in the weak-coupling limit, compatible with the leading order perturbative result.

HTL Resummation of the Thermodynamic Potential
Starting from the Φ-derivable approximation scheme at leading-loop order, the thermodynamical potential in a hot scalar theory, as well as in QED and QCD, is expressed in terms of hard thermal loop propagators. This nonperturbative approach is consistent with the leading-order perturbative results, ultraviolet finite, and, for gauge theories, explicitly gauge-invariant. For hot QCD it is argued...
متن کاملApproximately self-consistent resummations for the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma: Entropy and density
We propose a gauge-invariant and manifestly UV finite resummation of the physics of hard thermal or dense loops ~HTL-HDL! in the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma. The starting point is a simple, effectively one-loop expression for the entropy or the quark density which is derived from the fully self-consistent two-loop skeleton approximation to the free energy, but subject to further ap...

متن کاملQuark number susceptibilities from HTL-resummed thermodynamics
We compute analytically the diagonal quark number susceptibilities for a quarkgluon plasma at finite temperature and zero chemical potential, and compare with recent lattice results. The calculation uses the approximately self-consistent resummation of hard thermal and dense loops that we have developed previously. For temperatures between 1.5 to 5Tc , our results follow the same trend as the l...
