Closed forms of thermal Green functions in field theories

Description

We study finite-temperature effects to one loop order in field theories, by relating them to the forward scattering of thermal particles. This approach allows for an exact evaluation of all temperature-dependent contributions to the thermal self-energy in terms of generalized Zeta functions. We obtain a closed-form expression for the two-point gluon function in thermal Yang-Mills theory. (author). 16 refs
