Pade-related resummations of the pressure of quark-gluon plasma by approximate inclusion of g**6-terms
Abstract
We perform various resummations of the hot QCD pressure based on the actual knowledge of the perturbation series which includes the g**6 ln(1/g) and part of the g**6 terms. Resummations are performed separately for the short- and long-distance parts. The g**6 term of the short-distance pressure is estimated on the basis on the known UV cutoff dependence of the long-distance part. The resummations are of the Pade and Borel-Pade type, using in addition the (Pade-)resummed expression for the squared screening mass mE**2 and for the EQCD coupling parameter gE**2. The resummed results depend weakly on the yet unknown g**6 terms and on the the short-range renormalization scale, at all temperatures. The dependence on the long-range renormalization scale is appreciable at low temperatures T < 1 GeV. The resulting dependence of pressure on temperature T is compatible with the results of the lattice calculations at low T.
