This report gives a detailed account of relativistic quantum field theory in the grand
canonical ensemble. Three approaches are discussed: traditional Euclidean Matsubara …

We present a unified description of the high temperature phase of QCD, the so-called quark–
gluon plasma, in a regime where the effective gauge coupling g is sufficiently small to allow …

This book develops the basic formalism and theoretical techniques for studying relativistic
quantum field theory at high temperature and density. Specific physical theories treated …

This text introduces the theoretical framework for describing the quark-gluon plasma, an
important new state of matter. The first part of the book is a self-contained introduction to …

A systematic method for the calculation of amplitudes in hot gauge theories is developed. It
is necessary to distinguish between hard momenta (of order T) and soft momenta (of order …

In a framework that makes close contact with modern effective field theories for
nonrelativistic bound states at zero temperature, we study the real-time evolution of a static …

We study the high-temperature behaviour of the n-point function to one-loop order in thermal
QCD. We employ an analytic continuation of the imaginary-time formalism. The leading …

A consistent method for the perturbative calculation of scattering amplitudes in hot gauge
theories is developed. It involves the resummation of a subset of thermal fluctuations, termed …

The most important single attribute of noncovariant gauges is their ghost-free nature.
Although noncovariant gauges have been an integral part of quantum field theory for many …
