abstract
The lecture provides an introduction to thermal field theory and its applications to the physics of the quark-gluon plasma, possibly created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. In particular the Hard Thermal Loop resummation technique, providing a consistent perturbative description of relativistic, high-temperature plasmas is introduced. Using this method interesting quantities of the quark-gluon plasma (damping rates, energy loss, photon and dilepton production) are discussed. Furthermore recent developments on non-equilibrium field theory, which are relevant for high-energy heavy ion physics, are presented.

Coherent State Path Integral Reveals Unexpected Vacuum Structure in Thermal Field Theory
A coherent-state derivation of the thermal partition function yields extra vacuum and mass-coupling terms that the authors claim are novel, though these terms reflect the chosen operator ordering.
