We construct plasmon creation and annihilation operators for Yang–Mills theory at finite temperature. This provides a starting point for perturbation theory with resummation of hard thermal loops in a Hamiltonian framework.

We use the gauge/gravity duality to investigate various properties of strongly coupled gauge theories, which we interpret as models for the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). In particular, we use variants of the D3/D7 setup as an implementation of the top-down approach of connecting string theory with phenomenologically relevant gauge theories. We focus on the effects of finite temperature and finite density on fundamental matter in the holographic quark-gluon plasma, which we model as theN=2hypermultiplet in addition to theN=4gauge multiplet of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. We use a setup in which we can describe the holographic plasma at finite temperature and either baryon or isospin density and investigate the properties of the system from three different viewpoints. (i) We study meson spectra. Our observations at finite temperature and particle density are in qualitative agreement with phenomenological models and experimental observations. They agree with previous publications in the according limits. (ii) We study the temperature and density dependence of transport properties of fundamental matter in the QGP. In particular, we obtain diffusion coefficients. Furthermore, in a kinetic model we estimate the effects of the coupling strength on meson diffusion and therewith equilibration processes in the QGP. (iii) We observe the effects of finite temperature and density on the phase structure of fundamental matter in the holographic QGP. We trace out the phase transition lines of different phases in the phase diagram.

Abstract We describe a new perturbation theory for General Relativity, with the chiral first-order Einstein-Cartan action as the starting point. Our main result is a new gauge-fixing procedure that eliminates the connection-to-connection propagator. All other known first-order formalisms have this propagator non-zero, which significantly increases the combinatorial complexity of any perturbative calculation. In contrast, in the absence of the connection-to-connection propagator, our formalism leads to an effective description in which only the metric (or tetrad) propagates, there are only cubic and quartic vertices, but some vertex legs are special in that they cannot be connected by the propagator. The new formalism is the gravity analog of the well-known and powerful chiral description of Yang-Mills theory.

AbstractWe extend a previous work on the study of heavy charmonia and bottomonia in a deconfined quark-gluon plasma by considering the B c family of mesons. With the introduction of this bound state of a charm and a beauty quark, we investigate at finite temperature the behavior of the quarkonium, in an energy region between the ψ and the Y states.

Recent developments of perturbation theory at finite temperature based on effective field theory methods are reviewed. These methods allow the contributions from the different scales to be separated and the perturbative series to be reorganized. The construction of the effective field theory is shown in detail for ϕ4 theory and QCD. It is applied to the evaluation of the free energy of QCD at order g5 and the calculation of the g6 term is outlined. Implications for the application of perturbative QCD to the quark–gluon plasma are also discussed.

TheN-radial Schrödinger equation is analytically solved at finite temperature. The analytic exact iteration method (AEIM) is employed to obtain the energy eigenvalues and wave functions for all statesnandl. The application of present results to the calculation of charmonium and bottomonium masses at finite temperature is also presented. The behavior of the charmonium and bottomonium masses is in qualitative agreement with other theoretical methods. We conclude that the solution of the Schrödinger equation plays an important role at finite temperature that the analysis of the quarkonium states gives a key input to quark-gluon plasma diagnostics.
