Finite Temperature Quantum Field Theory with Impurities
We apply the concept of reflection-transmission (RT) algebra, originally developed in the context of integrable systems in 1+1 space-time dimensions, to the study of finite temperature quantum field theory with impurities in higher dimensions. We consider a scalar field in (s + 1) + 1 space-time dimensions, interacting with impurities localized on s-dimensional hyperplanes, but without self-int...
متن کاملInitial Value Problems in Quantum Field Theory and the Feynman Path Integral Representation of Schwinger’s Closed Time Path Formalism
Schwinger’s Closed-Time Path (CTP) formalism is an elegant way to insure causality for initial value problems in Quantum Field Theory. Feynman’s Path Integral on the other hand is much more amenable than Schwinger’s differential approach (related to the Schwinger Dyson equations) for non-perturbative (in coupling constant) expansions such as the large-N expansion. By marrying the CTP formalism ...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory at Finite Temperature: an Introduction
In these notes we review some properties of Statistical Quantum Field Theory at equilibrium, i.e Quantum Field Theory at finite temperature. We explain the relation between finite temperature quantum field theory in (d, 1) dimensions and statistical classical field theory in d + 1 dimensions. This identification allows to analyze the finite temperature QFT in terms of the renormalization group ...
متن کاملPath integral quantization of parametrised field theory
Free scalar field theory on a flat spacetime can be cast into a generally covariant form known as parametrised field theory in which the action is a functional of the scalar field as well as the embedding variables which describe arbitrary , in general curved, foliations of the flat spacetime. We construct the path integral quantization of parametrised field theory in order to analyse issues at...
متن کاملFractional Quantum Field Theory, Path Integral, and Stochastic Differential Equation for Strongly Interacting Many-Particle Systems
While free and weakly interacting particles are well described by a second-quantized nonlinear Schrödinger field, or relativistic versions of it, with various approximations, the fields of strongly interacting particles are governed by effective actions, whose quadratic terms are extremized by fractional wave equations. Their particle orbits perform universal Lévy walks rather than Gaussian ran...
