The Free Energy of Hot Gauge Theories with Fermions Through
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute the free energy density F for gauge theories, with fermions, at high temperature and zero chemical potential. In the expansion F = T [c0 + c2g 2 + c3g 3 + (c4 ln g + c4)g + (c5 ln g+ c5)g +O(g)], we determine c5 and c5 analytically by calculating twoand three-loop diagrams. The g term constitutes the first correction to the g term and is for the non-Abelian case the last power of g that can be computed within perturbation theory. We find that the g term receives no contributions from overlapping double-frequency sums and that c5 vanishes.

The Free Energy of Hot Gauge Theories with Fermions Through g
We compute the free energy density F for gauge theories, with fermions, at high temperature and zero chemical potential. In the expansion F = T [c0 + c2g + c3g + (c4 ln g + c4)g + (c5 ln g+ c5)g 5 +O(g)], we determine c5 and c5 analytically by calculating twoand three-loop diagrams. The g term constitutes the first correction to the g term and at the same time is the last power of g that can be...
متن کاملThe three-loop free energy for high-temperature QED and QCD with fermions
We compute the free energy density for gauge theories, with fermions, at high temperature and zero chemical potential. Specifically, we analytically compute the free energy through O(g4), which requires the evaluation of threeloop diagrams. This computation extends our previous result for pure gauge QCD.
متن کاملHot gauge theories and ZN phases.
In this paper the several aspects of the ZN symmetry in gauge theories at high temperatures are discussed. The metastable ZN bubbles in the SU(N) gauge theories with fermions may have, generically, unacceptable thermodynamic behavior. Their free energy F ∝ T 4 with a positive proportionality constant. This leads not only to negative pressure but also to negative specific heat and, more seriousl...
متن کاملThe Ensemble Projector Monte Carlo Method , Studying the U ( 1 ) Lattice Gauge Theory with Fermions in 2 + 1 Dimensions
The ensemble projector Monte Carlo method is a lattice Monte Carlo method for studying gauge theories with and without Fermions in the Hamiltonian formulat ion. We study the compact U(1) lattice gauge theory with fermions in d = 2 + 1 dimensions. There are matrix elements with positive and negative signs in lattice gauge theories with fermions. As in the case of the Schwinger model, we find the...
متن کاملThe relation between damping and reaction rates of fermions in hot gauge theories
We examine the relation between the damping rate of a chiral fermion mode propagating in a hot plasma and the rate at which the mode approaches equilibrium. We show that these two quantities, obtained from the imaginary part of the fermion self-energy, are equal provided the reaction rate is defined using the appropriate wave function of the mode in the medium.
