High-temperature field theory in curved spacetime

Journal article

We establish, to all orders in Newton's constant, the form of the effective actions describing hard-thermal matter loops in curved spacetime, both with external gluon lines (T2 effects) and without (T4 effects). In the latter case, the energy-momentum tensor corresponding to the effective action action has T00 > 0.
