abstract
We calculate the thermodynamic functions of pure-glue QCD to three-loop order using the hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt) reorganization of finite temperature quantum field theory. We show that at three-loop order hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory is compatible with lattice results for the pressure, energy density, and entropy down to temperatures $T\simeq3\;T_c$. Our results suggest that HTLpt provides a systematic framework that can used to calculate static and dynamic quantities for temperatures relevant at LHC.

The Equation of State of QCD up to very high temperatures
Using shifted boundary conditions, the authors compute s/T^3 in Nf=3 QCD from 3 to 165 GeV and find values a few percent below the Stefan-Boltzmann limit.
