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 formalism. The background field method, which maintains the explicit gauge invariance, provides notorious simplifications since one has to calculate only the renormalization constant of the background field gluon propagator. The results for the evolution of the QCD coupling constant at finite $T$ reproduce partially the ones obtained in the literature. We discuss, in particular, the origin of the discrepancies between different calculations, such as the choice of gauge, the break-down of Lorentz invariance, imaginary versus real time formalism and the applicability of the Ward identities at finite $T$.

Deep inelastic scattering data on F2 structure function from various fixed-target experiments were analyzed in the non-singlet approximation with a next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy. The study of high statistics deep inelastic scattering data pr ovided by BCDMS, SLAC, NMC and BFP collaborations was carried out separately for the first one and the rest, followed by a combined analysis done as well. For the coupling constant the following value alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1167 +/- 0.0021 (total exp.error) +0.0056/-0.0036(theor) was found, which in this approximation turns out to be slightly less than that obtained at the next-to-leading-order, as was generally anticipated. Ditto the theoretical uncertainties reduced with respect to those obtained in the case of the next-to-leading-order analysis thus confirming earlier observations.
We give a brief review of our recent QCD analysis carried out over the deep inelastic scattering data on F2 structure function and in the non-singlet approximation to the accuracy up to next-to-next-to-leading-order. Specifically, analysis was perfor med over high statistics deep inelastic scattering data provided by BCDMS, SLAC, NMC and BFP collaborations. For the coupling constant the following value alpha_s(M_Z^2) = 0.1167 pm 0.0022 was found.
We discuss the use of Wilson fermions with twisted mass for simulations of QCD thermodynamics. As a prerequisite for a future analysis of the finite-temperature transition making use of automatic O(a) improvement, we investigate the phase structure i n the space spanned by the hopping parameter kappa, the coupling beta, and the twisted mass parameter mu. We present results for N_f=2 degenerate quarks on a 16^3x8 lattice, for which we investigate the possibility of an Aoki phase existing at strong coupling and vanishing mu, as well as of a thermal phase transition at moderate gauge couplings and non-vanishing mu.
We discuss the phase structure of QCD for $N_f=2$ and $N_f=2+1$ dynamical quark flavours at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the underlying fundamental interactions between quarks and gluons in our work. T o this end, starting from the perturbative high-energy regime, we systematically integrate-out quantum fluctuations towards low energies by using the functional renormalisation group. By dynamically hadronising the dominant interaction channels responsible for the formation of light mesons and quark condensates, we are able to extract the phase diagram for $mu_B/T lesssim 6$. We find a critical endpoint at $(T_text{CEP},{mu_B}_{text{CEP}})=(107, 635),text{MeV}$. The curvature of the phase boundary at small chemical potential is $kappa=0.0142(2)$, computed from the renormalised light chiral condensate $Delta_{l,R}$. Furthermore, we find indications for an inhomogeneous regime in the vicinity and above the chiral transition for $mu_Bgtrsim 417$ MeV. Where applicable, our results are in very good agreement with the most recent lattice results. We also compare to results from other functional methods and phenomenological freeze-out data. This indicates that a consistent picture of the phase structure at finite baryon chemical potential is beginning to emerge. The systematic uncertainty of our results grows large in the density regime around the critical endpoint and we discuss necessary improvements of our current approximation towards a quantitatively precise determination of QCD phase diagram.
A novel approach to the Hamiltonian formulation of quantum field theory at finite temperature is presented. The temperature is introduced by compactification of a spatial dimension. The whole finite-temperature theory is encoded in the ground state o n the spatial manifold $S^1 (L) times mathbb{R}^2$ where $L$ is the length of the compactified dimension which defines the inverse temperature. The approach which is then applied to the Hamiltonian formulation of QCD in Coulomb gauge to study the chiral phase transition at finite temperatures.
