Finite Temperature Field Theory and Phase Transitions *
We review different aspects of field theory at zero and finite temperature, related to the theory of phase transitions. We discuss different renormalization conditions for the effective potential at zero temperature, emphasizing in particular the MS renormalization scheme. Finite temperature field theory is discussed in the real and imaginary time formalisms, showing their equivalence in simple...
متن کاملFinite Temperature Dynamics near Quantum Phase Transitions
We review the non-zero temperature relaxational dynamics of quantum systems near a zero temperature, second-order phase transition. We begin with the quantum Ising chain, for which universal and exact results for the relaxation rates can be obtained in all the distinct limiting regimes of the phase diagram. Next, we describe the crossovers in the electron spectral function near a transition inv...
متن کاملQuantum Phase Transitions in a Finite System
An important issue concerning quantum phase transitions in mesoscopic systems is to understand the modifications at criticality due to their finite number of constituents. In the present contribution we study this question in connection with nuclei exemplifying a finite system undergoing a shape-phase transition. We employ the interacting boson model (IBM) [1] which describes low-lying quadrupo...
متن کاملQuantum Shape-Phase Transitions in Finite Nuclei
Quantum phase transitions are structural changes occurring at zero temperature as a function of a coupling constant and driven by quantum fluctuations. An example is the phase transition between different shapes of nuclei for which the equilibrium deformation plays the role of an order parameter. A proper description of such phase transitions necessitates the inclusion of correlation effects be...
متن کاملPhonons and Phase Transitions in Finite Nuclei
The nature and evolution of collectivity and coherence in nuclei is one of the most fundamental issues in nuclear structure and its evolution with N and Z. Despite many experiments, the nature of nuclear vibrational modes in deformed nuclei and the nature of nuclear phase/shape transitions are not at all understood. We discuss new experiments on phonon and multi-phonon states in the rare earth ...
