Approximate spectral functions in thermal field theory.
Causality requires that the ~anti!commutator of two interacting field operators vanishes for spacelike coordinate differences. This implies that the Fourier transform of the spectral function of this quantum field should vanish in the spacelike domain. We find that this requirement imposes some constraints on the use of resummed propagators in high temperature gauge theory. @S0556-2821~96!02418-6#
متن کاملSpectral Theory of Thermal Relaxation
We review some results obtained in a recent series of papers on thermal relaxation in classical and quantum dissipative systems. We consider models where a small system S , with a finite number of degrees of freedom, interacts with a large environment R in thermal equilibrium at positive temperature T . The zeroth law of thermodynamics postulates that, independently of its initial configuration...
متن کاملThermal Field Theory in Equilibrium
Thermal field theory has applications in many areas of physics and one of those is the early Universe. There is an excess of matter over antimatter in the present Universe. Unless this was an initial condition in the Big Bang Scenario, this baryon asymmetry must have been created during the evolution of the Universe. According to Sakarov’s three criteria for baryogenesis, the Universe must have...
متن کاملSpectral Theory and Special Functions
A short introduction to the use of the spectral theorem for self-adjoint operators in the theory of special functions is given. As the first example, the spectral theorem is applied to Jacobi operators, i.e. tridiagonal operators, on l(Z≥0), leading to a proof of Favard’s theorem stating that polynomials satisfying a three-term recurrence relation are orthogonal polynomials. We discuss the link...
متن کاملSpectral density constraints in quantum field theory
Determining the structure of spectral densities is important for understanding the behavior of any quantum field theory (QFT). However, the exact calculation of these quantities often requires a full nonperturbative description of the theory, which for physically realistic theories such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is currently unknown. Nevertheless, it is possible to infer indirect informat...
