Non-perturbative thermal flows and resummations

چکیده
We construct a functional renormalisation group for thermal fluctuations. Thermal resummations are naturally built in, and the infrared problem of thermal fluctuations is well under control. The viability of the approach is exemplified for thermal scalar field theories. In gauge theories the present setting allows for the construction of a gauge-invariant thermal renormalisation group.

Phase transition in scalar φ-theory beyond the super daisy resummations
The temperature phase transition in scalar φ4(x) field theory with spontaneous symmetry breaking is investigated in a partly resummed perturbative approach. The second Legendre transform is used and the resulting gap equation is considered in the extrema of the free energy functional. It is found that the phase transition is of first order in the super daisy as well as in a certain beyond super...
متن کاملThe thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma: Self-consistent resummations vs. lattice data
We discuss a recent approach for overcoming the poor convergence of the perturbative expansion for the thermodynamic potential of QCD. This approach is based on selfconsistent approximations which allow for a gauge-invariant and manifestly ultravioletfinite resummation of the essential physics of the hard thermal/dense loops. The results thus obtained are in good agreement with available lattic...
متن کاملRenormalization in momentum dependent resummations
At finite temperature and in non-equilibrium environments we have to resum perturbation theory to avoid infrared divergences. Since resummation shuffles the perturbative orders, renormalizability is a nontrivial issue. In this paper we demonstrate that one can modify any type of resummations – even if it is momentum dependent, or it resums higher point functions – in a way that it is renormaliz...
متن کاملOn the Asymptotic Improvement of Resummations and Perturbative Predictions in Quantum Field Theory
The improvement of resummation algorithms for divergent perturbative expansions in quantum field theory (QFT) by asymptotic information about perturbative coefficients is investigated. Various asymptotically optimized resummation schemes are considered. The improvement of perturbative predictions beyond the reexpansion of rational approximants is discussed. PACS numbers 11.15.Bt, 11.10.Jj, 12.2...
متن کاملEquation of state near the endpoint of the critical line
We discuss first order transitions for systems in the Ising universality class. The critical long distance physics near the endpoint of the critical line is explicitly connected to microscopic properties of a given system. Information about the short distance physics can therefore be extracted from the precise location of the end-point and non-universal amplitudes. Our method is based on non-pe...
