Analysis of ω\omega self-energy at finite temperature and density in the real-time formalism

Using the real time formalism of field theory at finite temperature and density we have evaluated the in-medium $\omega$ self-energy from baryon and meson loops. We have analyzed in detail the discontinuities across the branch cuts of the self-energy function and obtained the imaginary part from the non-vanishing contributions in the cut regions. An extensive set of resonances have been considered in the baryon loops. Adding the meson loop contribution we obtain the full modified spectral function of $\omega$ in a thermal gas of mesons, baryons and anti-baryons in equilibrium for several values of temperature and baryon chemical potential

Vector and axial vector mesons at finite temperature

We consider the thermal correlation functions of vector and axial-vector currents and evaluate corrections to the vector and axial-vector meson pole terms to one loop in chiral perturbation theory. As expected, the pole positions do not shift to leading order in temperature. But the residues decrease with temperature
