    "abstract": "The theory relevant to the study of matter in equilibrium with the radiation\nfield is thermal quantum electrodynamics (TQED). We present a formulation of\nthe theory, suitable for non relativistic fluids, based on a joint functional\nintegral representation of matter and field variables. In this formalism\ncluster expansion techniques of classical statistical mechanics become\noperative. They provide an alternative to the usual Feynman diagrammatics in\nmany-body problems which is not perturbative with respect to the coupling\nconstant. As an application we show that the effective Coulomb interaction\nbetween quantum charges is partially screened by thermalized photons at large\ndistances. More precisely one observes an exact cancellation of the dipolar\nelectric part of the interaction, so that the asymptotic particle density\ncorrelation is now determined by relativistic effects. It has still the\n$r^{-6}$ decay typical for quantum charges, but with an amplitude strongly\nreduced by a relativistic factor.",
