Hamiltonian finite-temperature quantum field theory from its vacuum on partially compactified space
R 2 × S1(β) are derived. To make the resulting expressions mathematically well-defined a Poisson resummation of the Matsubara sums as well as an analytic continuation in the chemical potential are required. The new approach to finite-temperature quantum field theories is advantageous in a Hamilton formulation since it does not require the usual thermal averages with the density operator. Instea...
متن کاملFinite 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 کاملThe role of dissipation in biasing the vacuum selection in quantum field theory at finite temperature
We study the symmetry breaking pattern of an O(4) symmetric model of scalar fields, with both charged and neutral fields, interacting with a photon bath. Nagasawa and Brandenberger argued that in favourable circumstances the vacuum manifold would be reduced from S3 to S1. Here it is shown that a selective condensation of the neutral fields, that are not directly coupled to photons, can be achie...
متن کاملFinite-temperature scalar field theory in static de Sitter space.
The finite-temperature one-loop effective potential for a scalar field in the static de Sitter space-time is obtained. Within this framework, by using zeta-function regularization, one can get, in the conformally invariant case, the explicit expression for the stress tensor anomaly. Its value turns out to depend on the thermal state of the system. This conclusion is different from the one deriv...
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 ...
