read the original abstract
These lecture notes, suitable for a two-semester introductory course or self-study, offer an elementary and self-contained exposition of the basic tools and concepts that are encountered in practical computations in perturbative thermal field theory. Selected applications to heavy ion collision physics and cosmology are outlined in the last chapter.

Quantum field nucleating and Wigner functions
The one-loop over-the-barrier nucleation rate in a thermal QFT is Affleck’s formula generalized to fields, not Linde’s, and still carries quantum prefactor effects even when the bounce is classically symmetric.

Heterotic Warm Inflation
In a heterotic-string-inspired two-field warm inflation model, the axion drives inflation while thermal corrections from gauge fields block sustained dilaton-driven inflation.

Cosmological phase transitions without high-temperature expansions
A hard-soft split combined with a finite-temperature Loop-Tree Duality method computes the resummed 4d thermal effective potential without high-temperature expansions, demonstrated in a scalar-Yukawa model.

Theoretical uncertainties in reconstructing model parameters with gravitational waves from supercooled phase transitions
In the conformal U(1)_X model, the daisy-resummed nucleation scheme shifts LISA-reconstructed gauge couplings by O(10%) relative to the NLO effective-field-theory result, an order of magnitude above the Fisher-matrix ...

Hard thermal contributions to phase transition observables at NNLO
Three-loop thermal masses and two-loop quartic couplings complete the O(g^6) high-temperature EFT of U(1) and SU(N) gauge-Higgs models, with a missing contribution identified in a known three-loop master integral.

Geometric noise spectrum in interferometers
The noise spectrum an interferometer would see from quantum spacetime jitter is computed for vacuum, thermal, squeezed, and scalar-backreaction states; all are Planck-suppressed.

Renormalization group analysis of color superconductivity revisited
An RG treatment with self-energy corrections reproduces the known O(g^0) color-superconducting gap and claims to fix its overall coefficient, implying a factor-two reduction.

Classification of color superconductivity by one-gluon exchange helicity amplitudes and renormalization group equations
In dense QCD, the most attractive quark pairing channel is classified by helicity amplitudes and renormalization group equations, with a new p-wave (1P1) channel favored for symmetric flavor and attraction found in th...

Leading-Order QCD Equation of State in Strong Magnetic Fields at Nonzero Baryon Chemical Potential
Continuum-estimated leading-order EoS coefficients in magnetized strangeness-neutral QCD at nonzero baryon chemical potential show temperature-band crossings in q1 and P2 and a possible sign change of the trace anomal...

Thermal History of Non-equilibrated Scalars
A non-equilibrated scalar controlling a quartic coupling makes the coupling smaller at high temperature, strengthening the first-order dark Higgs phase transition.

Thermal Resummation for Very Strong First-order Phase Transitions
A 2PI-based real-time resummation yields an NLO Abelian-Higgs effective potential for strong phase transitions that passes the leading-order Nielsen gauge-independence test.

Beyond the Daisy Chain: Running and the 3D EFT View of Supercooled Phase Transitions
With renormalisation-group running included, the one-loop high-temperature Daisy-resummed potential at µ=πT reproduces the phase-transition parameters of the two-loop dimensionally reduced EFT, while the no-running on...

Chirally imbalanced quark-gluon plasma splits transverse gluon modes into circular polarizations, adds instabilities, and makes quarkonium melt faster via a larger Debye mass and decay width.
