We compute the free energy density for pure non-Abelian gauge theory at high temperature and zero chemical potential. The three-loop result to $O(g^4)$ is [a lovely formula. Get the paper and print it out.] We examine the sensitivity of this result to the choice of renormalization scale. We also give a result for the free energy of scalar $\phi^4$ theory, correcting a result previously given in the literature.

    A thermal normal-ordering scheme yields systematic epsilon-expansions for thermal observables in PT-symmetric cubic and quintic O(N) models, agreeing with exact 2D results from minimal models M(2,5) and M(3,8)_D and p...

  3. Warm Inflation with Pseudo-scalar Couplings

    hep-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Warm inflation models with pseudo-scalar couplings require inclusion of induced chemical potentials that make the thermal friction-fluctuation relation model-dependent rather than universal.

  4. Hard thermal contributions to phase transition observables at NNLO

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.
