Resummation scheme for perturbative calculations of the magnetic QCD pressure — •Daniel Bieletzki — Uni Frankfurt

Perturbation theory for non-abelian gauge theories at finite temperature is plagued by infrared divergences which are caused by magnetic soft modes ~ g²T, corresponding to gluon fields of a 3d Yang-Mills theory. While the divergences can be regulated by a dynamically generated magnetic mass on that scale, the gauge coupling drops out of the effective expansion parameter requiring summation of all loop orders for the calculation of observables. We use a scheme based on the non-linear sigma model to implement such infrared-safe resummations to estimate some of the contributions ~ g⁶ of the soft magnetic modes to the QCD pressure through three loops.
