Ultrarelativistic
electron-
positron plasmas can be
produced in
high-intensity laser fields and play a role in various astrophysical
situations. Their properties can be calculated using QED at
finite temperature. Here we will use perturbative QED at finite temperature
for calculating various important properties, such as the equation of
state, dispersion relations of collective plasma modes of photons and
electrons, Debye screening, damping rates, mean free paths, collision
times, transport coefficients, and particle production rates, of
Ultrarelativistic electron-positron plasmas. In particular, we will
focus on electron-positron plasmas produced with ultra-strong lasers.
