abstract
We present the first complete calculation of the soft photon self-energy to the next-to-leading order in a hot and/or dense ultrarelativistic plasma in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). The calculation is performed within the real-time formalism utilizing dimensional regularization in $4-2\epsilon$ dimensions, while the result is reported including explicit $O(\epsilon)$ terms in the zero-temperature limit. This information is required to extend the perturbative calculation of the pressure of cold and dense QED matter to partial next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order in a weak-coupling expansion, reported in a companion paper. These results pave the way for a similar future calculation in Quantum Chromodynamics.

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.
