Abstract

In this paper we apply the finite-temperature renormalization group from the point of view of “environmentally friendly” renormalization. We study both λϕ⁴ theory and the magnetic sector of QCD. At one loop level the complete temperature range of λϕ⁴ is successfully described in terms of the parameters of the zero temperature theory. We show also how the critical temperature can be calculated in terms of the latter. For the magnetic sector of QCD, in distinction to λϕ⁴, a one-loop finite temperature renormalization group improvement is not sufficient to
describe the high-temperature regime.
