主 题:resummation hard-thermal-loop thermal field theory QED free Energy
摘 要:The weak-coupling expansion for thermodynamic quantities in thermal field theories is poorly convergent unless the coupling constant is *** discuss the calculation of the free energy for a hot gas of electrons and photons to three-loop order using hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt).We show that the hard-thermal-loop perturbation reorganization improves the convergence of the successive approximations to the QED free energy at large coupling,e ~ *** reorganization is gauge invariant by construction,and due to the cancellations among various contributions,we obtain a completely analytic result for the resummed thermodynamic potential at three loops.
