In this review, we present the key aspects of modern thermal perturbation theory based on the hard thermal loop (HTL) approximation, including its theoretical foundations and applications within quantum electrodynamics (QED) and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) plasmas. To maintain conciseness, we focus on scenarios in thermal equilibrium, examining a variety of physical quantities and settings. Specifically, we explore both bulk thermodynamic properties and real-time observables in high-temperature domains relevant to heavy-ion physics.

  1. One-loop HDL thermodynamics of a strongly magnetized isospin asymmetric cold quark matter

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the lowest Landau level, one-loop HDLpt pressure of cold quark matter grows with quark and isospin chemical potentials, and the magnetization is positive, making transverse pressure smaller than longitudinal.

  2. Plasminos in chiral QCD plasma

    hep-ph 2025-09 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper claims left and right handed quark quasiparticles and plasminos split with masses M ± δM in a chiral plasma, but the splitting is not supported by its own pole equations.

  3. Beyond leading-logarithm photon production from two-loop diagrams in a hot QCD medium

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    Two-loop imaginary-time QCD self-energies yield the same hard-photon LL and BLL rates as kinetic theory for Compton and qq̄ annihilation, with topology II vanishing on-shell but restoring the Ward identity.
