INTRODUCTION TO THERMAL FIELD THEORY [PDF]

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 1993
This is a very basic introduction and short (and of course incomplete) overview of thermal field theory. In the first part, I introduce the thermal propagator at a very simple level and give the Feynman rules using the time-path contour method. In the second part, I give examples of these rules in scalar theory and discuss the origin of the thermal ...

Thermal mean-field theories [PDF]

The Journal of Chemical Physics
Several closely related ab initio thermal mean-field theories for fermions, both well-established and new ones, are compared with one another at the formalism level and numerically. The theories considered are Fermi–Dirac theory; thermal Hartree–Fock (HF) theory; two modifications of the thermal single-determinant approximation of Kaplan and Argyres ...

Thermal equilibrium states in perturbative Algebraic Quantum Field Theory in relation to Thermal Field Theory

, 2019
In the first part, we analyse the properties of an interacting, massive scalar field in an equilibrium state over Minkowski spacetime. We compare the known real- and imaginary-time formalisms of Thermal Field Theory with the recent construction by Fredenhagen and Lindner of a KMS state for perturbative interacting theories in the context of ...

Thermal Field Theory

, 1996
Now in paperback, this text introduces the theoretical framework for describing the quark-gluon plasma, an important new state of matter. The first part of this book is a self-contained introduction to relativistic thermal field theory. Topics include the path integral approach, the real and the imaginary time formalisms, fermion fields and gauge ...

Scalar thermal field theory for a rotating plasma

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
This paper initiates the systematic study of thermal field theory for generic equilibrium density matrices, which feature arbitrary values not only of temperature and chemical potentials, but also of average angular momentum.

Thermal corrections to Rényi entropy in BMS field theory [PDF]

Journal of High Energy Physics
In the study of three-dimensional flat holography, the BMS field theory manifests the infinite-dimensional BMS3 symmetry, a powerful tool in elucidating numerous universal phenomena.

Renormalized thermal entropy in field theory [PDF]

Physical Review D, 2009
Standard entropy calculations in quantum field theory, when applied to a subsystem of definite volume, exhibit area-dependent UV divergences that make a thermodynamic interpretation troublesome. In this paper we define a renormalized entropy which is related with the Newton-Wigner position operator. Accordingly, whenever we trace over a region of space,
