The nucleon mass shift is calculated using chiral counting arguments and a virial expansion, without and with the $Delta$. At all temperatures, the mass shift and damping rate are dominated by the $Delta$. Our results are compared with the empirical analysis of Leutwyler and Smilga, as well as results from heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the large $N_{c}$ (number of color) limit. We show that unitarity implies that the concepts of thermal shifts are process dependent.
The importance of studying matter at high $rho$ increases as more astrophysical data becomes available from recently launched spacecrafts. The importance of high T studies derives from heavy ion data. In this paper we set up a formalism to study the
We demonstrate the applicability of integration-by-parts (IBP) identities in finite-temperature field theory. As a concrete example, we perform 3-loop computations for the thermodynamic pressure of QCD in general covariant gauges, and confirm earlier Feynman-gauge results.
We apply the $delta$-expansion perturbation scheme to the $lambda phi^{4}$ self-interacting scalar field theory in 3+1 D at finite temperature. In the $delta$-expansion the interaction term is written as $lambda (phi^{2})^{ 1 + delta}$ and $delta$ is

We work out the method for evaluating the QCD coupling constant at finite temperature ($T$) by making use of the finite $T$ renormalization group equation up to the one-loop order on the basis of the background field method with the imaginary time fo
