abstract
Effective-field-theory methods are used to separate the free energy for a nonabelian gauge theory at high temperature $T$ into the contributions from the momentum scales $T$, $gT$, and $g^2T$, where $g$ is the coupling constant at the scale $2 \pi T$. The effects of the scale $T$ enter through the coefficients in the effective lagrangian for the 3-dimensional effective theory obtained by dimensional reduction. These coefficients can be calculated as power series in $g^2$. The contribution to the free energy from the scale $gT$ can be calculated using perturbative methods in the effective theory. It can be expressed as an expansion in $g$ starting at order $g^3$. The contribution from the scale $g^2T$ must be calculated using nonperturbative methods, but nevertheless it can be expanded in powers of $g$ beginning at order $g^6$. We calculate the free energy explicitly to order $g^5$. We also outline the calculations necessary to obtain the free energy to order $g^6$.

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.

Phase Transitions in Dimensional Reduction up to Three Loops
In a toy complex-scalar model, 1-loop dimension-6 matching corrections compete with 2-loop quartic corrections and dominate 3-loop thermal-mass corrections for strong phase transitions.

Warm Inflation with Pseudo-scalar Couplings
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.

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.

Meson Screening Masses in (2+1)-Flavor QCD
Continuum-extrapolated lattice QCD screening masses show vector-axial-vector degeneracy at Tpc and scalar-pseudoscalar degeneracy near 1.3Tpc, while J=0 and J=1 channels remain split up to 2.5 GeV.
