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,

THERMAL FIELD THEORY IN NON-EQUILIBRIUM STATES [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics B, 1996 Conventional transport theory is not really applicable to nonequilibrium systems which exhibit strong quantum effects. We present two different approaches to overcome this problem. Firstly we point out how transport equations may be derived that incorporate a nontrivial spectral function as a typical quantum effect, and test this approach in a toy ...

Real-time spin systems from lattice field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We construct a lattice field theory method for computing the real-time dynamics of spin systems in a thermal bath. This is done by building on previous work of Takano with Schwinger-Keldysh and functional differentiation techniques. We derive a Schwinger-

QED symmetries in real-time thermal field theory [PDF]
, 1996 We study the discrete and gauge symmetries of Quantum Electrodynamics at finite temperature within the real-time formalism. The gauge invariance of the complete generating functional leads to the finite temperature Ward identities.

Thermalization and chaos in a 1+1d QFT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We study aspects of chaos and thermodynamics at strong coupling in a scalar model using LCT numerical methods. We find that our eigenstate spectrum satisfies Wigner-Dyson statistics and that the coefficients describing eigenstates in our basis satisfy ...

Global symmetries and partial confinement
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In gauge theories, spontaneous breaking of the centre symmetry provides a precise definition of deconfinement. In large-N gauge theories, evidence has emerged recently that between confined and deconfined phases a partially-deconfined phase can appear ...

Equilibrium States in Thermal Field Theory and in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
Annales Henri Poincaré, 2019 In this paper we compare the construction of equilibrium states at finite temperature for self-interacting massive scalar quantum field theories on Minkowski spacetime proposed by Fredenhagen and Lindner with results obtained in ordinary thermal field theory, by means of real time and Matsubara formalisms. In the construction of this state, even if the

Universality of quantum information in chaotic CFTs
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) in chaotic conformal field theories (CFTs) of arbitrary dimensions. Assuming local ETH, we compute the reduced density matrix of a ball-shaped subsystem of finite size in the infinite volume limit ...
