abstract
The thermal physics of a massless scalar field with a phi^4 interaction is studied within screened perturbation theory (SPT). In this method the perturbative expansion is reorganized by adding and subtracting a mass term in the lagrangian. We consider several different mass prescriptions that generalize the one-loop gap equation to two-loop order. We calculate the pressure and entropy to three-loop order and the screening mass to two-loop order. In contrast to the weak-coupling expansion, the SPT-improved approximations appear to converge even for rather large values of the coupling constant.

RGOPT-resummed NNLO pQCD EoS for massive quarks in beta equilibrium is fitted and applied to construct pure quark stars (X=3.08-3.58) and hybrid stars (X~2-2.98) compatible with PSR J0740+6620 and GW190814.
Lattice data indicate hot QCD features an intermediate phase with emergent chiral spin symmetry and thermoparticles as thermal constituents, differing from perturbative expectations.
