Field Theory at finite Temperature and Density : Applications to Quark Stars

Abstract:In this thesis we will consider different thermal field theories, and derive an equation of state for deconfined matter.This equation of state will be used in the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV)-equations to calculate the mass andradius of quark stars.Firstly, a scalar field with a four-po...
