Quantum Gauge Fields at Finite Temperature

Student: Lunov Mikhail

Educational Programme: Mathematics and Mathematical Physics (Master)

Year of Graduation: 2019

This paper discusses the use of quantum field theory at a finite temperature for non-Abelian gauge fields based on the basic principles of quantum field theory, thermodynamics, and statistical mechanics. All work was done in order to obtain physically observable quantities, namely the pressure of the gluon field.
