The g 6 pressure of hot Yang-Mills theory: canonical form of the integrand

Abstract We present major progress towards the determination of the last missing piece for the pressure of a Yang-Mills plasma at high temperatures at order g 6 in the strong coupling constant. This order is of key importance due to its role in resolving the long-standing infrared problem of finite-...

description Abstract We present major progress towards the determination of the last missing piece for the pressure of a Yang-Mills plasma at high temperatures at order g 6 in the strong coupling constant. This order is of key importance due to its role in resolving the long-standing infrared problem of finite-temperature field theory within a dimensionally reduced effective field theory setup. By systematically applying linear transformations of integration variables, or momentum shifts, we resolve equivalences between different representations of Feynman sum-integrals on the integrand level, transforming those into a canonical form. At the order g 6, this results in reducing a sum of O $$ \mathcal{O} $$ (100000) distinct sum-integrals which are produced from all four-loop vacuum diagrams down to merely 21. Furthermore, we succeed to map 11 of those onto known lower-loop structures. This leaves only 10 genuine 4-loop sum-integrals to be evaluated, thereby bringing the finalization of three decades of theoretical efforts within reach.
