Gauge covariant linear response analysis of QCD plasma oscillations
TLDR
In this article, the damping constant of color electric plasma oscillations in a Colomb gauge was computed in a covariant manner using linear response theory, and the result agreed with an earlier calculation in the A0 = 0 gauge.About:

Soft amplitudes in hot gauge theories: A general analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic method for the calculation of amplitudes in hot gauge theories is developed, which is necessary to distinguish between hard momenta (of order T ) and soft momenta(of order gT ) over soft momentsa, effective propagators and vertices are required.

The Quark gluon plasma in equilibrium
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed, with emphasis on the quark-hadron phase transition and the colour-superconducting phases of quark matter Lattice quantum chromodynamics results on the order of the phase transition, the thermodynamical functions, the heavy quark free energy, mesonic spectral functions, and recent results for nonzero quark chemical potential are presented.

High-temperature limit of thermal QCD
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the high-temperature behavior of the n-point function to one-loop order in thermal QCD and employed an analytic continuation of the imaginary-time formalism.

Quark damping and energy loss in the high temperature QCD
Markus H. Thoma,Miklos Gyulassy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy loss per unit length of high energy quarks in a quark-gluon plasma was calculated via PQCD, and it was shown that the loss is infrared finite and surprisingly small.

QCD and instantons at finite temperature
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a topological classification of finite-energy, periodic fields and the classical solutions which minimize the action in each topological sector are examined and the effects of instantons can be reliably calculated at sufficiently high temperature.

Quantum chromodynamics and the theory of superdense matter
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the progress in this theory is reviewed, as well as its applications to such topics as hadronic structure, neutron stars, high energy collisions of hadrons, etc.

Infrared problem in the thermodynamics of the Yang-Mills gas
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the infrared cutoff of the massless Yang-Mills field due to high temperature effects cannot be greater than O( g 2 ) T, where g is the effective gauge coupling constant at a finite temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phase transitions in gauge theories and cosmology
TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that at a sufficiently large temperature a phase transition takes place after which almost all elementary particles in the hot super-dense matter become massless and weak interactions become long-range like electromagnetic interactions.

Covariant Calculations at Finite Temperature: The Relativistic Plasma
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that finite-temperature calculations in field theory are manifestly Lorentz covariant at all stages if the Minkowski-space form of the temperature-dependent propagators is used and if the four-velocity of the heat bath is taken into account.
