abstract

We compute the free energy density for pure non-Abelian gauge theory at high temperature and zero chemical potential. The three-loop result to $O(g^4)$ is [a lovely formula. Get the paper and print it out.] We examine the sensitivity of this result to the choice of renormalization scale. We also give a result for the free energy of scalar $\phi^4$ theory, correcting a result previously given in the literature.

Warm Inflation with Pseudo-scalar Couplings

hep-ph · 2025-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Warm inflation models with pseudo-scalar couplings require inclusion of induced chemical potentials that make the thermal friction-fluctuation relation model-dependent rather than universal.

SIRENA -- Sum-Integral REductioN Algorithm

hep-ph · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

SIRENA automates IBP reduction of sum-integrals in finite-temperature QFT, reproduces known results to 3 loops, supplies new 3-loop fermionic reductions, and derives an analytic factorization formula for arbitrary 2-loop fermionic sum-integrals.

$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Field Theories at Finite Temperature

hep-th · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A thermal normal-ordering scheme yields systematic epsilon-expansions for thermal observables in PT-symmetric cubic and quintic O(N) models, agreeing with exact 2D results from minimal models M(2,5) and M(3,8)_D and providing higher-d extrapolations.
