abstract
We present first results on finite system size corrections to the equation of state, trace anomaly, and speed of sound for two model systems: 1) free, massless scalar theory and 2) quenched QCD with periodic boundary conditions (PBC). We further present work-in-progress results for quenched QCD with Dirichlet boundary conditions.

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.
