The analytic properties in the energy variable k_{0} of finite-temperature self-energies are investigated. A typical branch cut results from n particles being emitted into the heat bath and n' being absorbed from the heat bath. There are three main results: First, in addition to the branch points at which the cuts terminate, there are also branch points attached to the cuts along their length. Second, branch points at k_{0}=\pm k are ubiquitous and for massive particles they are essential singularities. Third, in a perturbative expansion using free particle propagators or in a resummed expansion in which the propagator pole occurs at a real energy, the self-energy will have a branch point at the pole location.

  1. Emergent chiral spin symmetry, non-perturbative dynamics and thermoparticles in hot QCD

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Lattice data indicate hot QCD features an intermediate phase with emergent chiral spin symmetry and thermoparticles as thermal constituents, differing from perturbative expectations.

  2. Non-perturbative constraints on perturbation theory at finite temperature

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    Two-loop finite-temperature perturbation theory disagrees with lattice phi^4 data at high temperature, while thermoparticle spectral functions keep the temporal correlator consistent.
