Finite size effects in the thermodynamics of the free scalar field and the interacting SU(3) plasma

In this thesis, we study the thermodynamic properties of the free scalar field and the thermodynamics of the interacting SU(3) plasma when these systems are away from the thermodynamic limit, i.e., at finite volume. In the first part of the thesis, we study the thermodynamic properties of the free s...
