Description
Local quantum field theory (QFT) provides a framework for establishing the non-perturbative constraints imposed on QFTs at non-vanishing temperatures. In this talk, I will outline how the locality of fields in particular has significant implications for understanding the phenomena experienced by particles as they move through a thermal medium. As an application, I will discuss how pion peak-broadening effects can be directly extracted from lattice QCD data, and why this is relevant for understanding the phase structure of QCD.
