摘要
We calculate the thermodynamic functions of a quark-gluon plasma for general N-c and N-f to three-loop order using hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory. At this order, all the ultraviolet divergences can be absorbed into renormalizations of the vacuum, the HTL mass parameters, and the strong coupling constant. We show that at three loops, the results for the pressure and trace anomaly are in very good agreement with recent lattice data down to temperatures T similar to 2T(c). (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.
